     Ugh, I ran into this before... GnuPG also doesn't allow keys with no user id, for NO reason. Fortunately, there's a hack to get around it by forging one, but good god is it a hack.
     $ gpg --import /tmp/mik3y.pgp
     gpg: key 1EF75E811EA23E25: no user ID

     fuck
     $ gpg -o /tmp/mik3y.binary.pgp --dearmor /tmp/mik3y.pgp
     $ echo -ne '\xb4\x0bmik3y m0u5e' >> /tmp/mik3y.binary.pgp
     $ gpg --allow-non-selfsigned-uid --import /tmp/mik3y.binary.pgp

     (it's the byte b4, the length of the uid string in 1 byte, then the uid)
     
     gpg --list-packets something will show the b4 as ctb=b4 like:
     # off=1654 ctb=b4 tag=13 hlen=2 plen=2
     :user ID packet: "Cy"
     or uh...
     $ echo -ne '\xb4\x0bmik3y m0u5e' | gpg --list-packets
     # off=0 ctb=b4 tag=13 hlen=2 plen=11
     :user ID packet: "mik3y m0u5e"
