You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I wanted to setup my own PPA and I tried to follow the step by step
instructions but they are wrong it turns out.

---

The step by step instructions for "Creating your OpenPGP keys" says:

Step 10: GPG will now generate your keys. To increase the strength of your keys, you should type randomly on your keyboard. This gives GPG extra data from which to generate your keys.
Your keys are now stored as public.key and private.key in the current directory. 

However, I don't think gpg works that way. At least for me it does
not create any private.key file in the current directory. Instead
the user has to explicitly export it if s/he wants a file.

Please correct the guide and make sure it includes the export step?
Thanks.
