Description
Hey,
My private key was generated by Keybase. I edited it using GPG Tools and I want to push the updated private key block to Keybase (the public key block is already pushed), but I am seeing this error:
```
$ keybase push -p -s -u
info: Updating both remote keys with local version
Your key passphrase: *
error: the private key didn't match the public (error #904)
```
Can you please help?
Thanks in advance.

Research direction
Start with the reported `keybase push -p -s -u` command and the `error #904` message, then review how the private and public key blocks were generated and edited with GPG Tools. Done would require identifying why the updated private key does not match the already-pushed public key and documenting or fixing the relevant behavior.
