Description

I just got an invite tonight, and I am trying to setup my Keybase account. I already have a 4096-bit cert generated and stubs stored on a Yubikey NEO.

When adding my private key either stored in the web-browser or using the command line (I tried both ways) I get the following:

TypeError: ("unknown s2k gnu protection mode: " + gnu_ext_type) is not a constructor

Research direction

Reproduce the failure when adding the private key through the web browser and command line, using the reported Yubikey setup. Start with the TypeError about the unknown GNU protection mode; done means the key can be added successfully through the affected path.
