Description
Hey there, I can't login to keybase.
I've added my private keybase key to my gpg keyring but the client keeps telling me, that he can't find it.
I'm sure that it is the correct key, since I've compared fingerprints.
I've also already tried to use gpg and gpg2, with keybase config set gpg.command gpg2
keybase login
Your keybase username or email address: fap
▶ ERROR in Login
Sorry, your account is already established with a PGP public key, but this
utility cannot access the corresponding private key. You need to prove
you're you. We suggest one of the following:
- install GPG and put your PGP private key on this machine and try again
- reset your account and start fresh: https://keybase.io/#account-reset

Research direction
Start with the keybase login flow and the configured gpg.command value (gpg or gpg2), using log ID f24b556c3e14e49dfecb8c1c for investigation. Done means the client can access the matching private key and complete login without reporting that it cannot find it.
