Description

Hi,
it seems I can't export my PGP private key because every time I try it gives the same message:

"Error: Failed to get and unlock your private key"

Research direction

The report names no file, test, entry point, platform, or client version. Start by reproducing the private-key export failure and collecting the environment and key state involved; done means identifying the cause and confirming that export no longer reports “Failed to get and unlock your private key.”
