Why the "gpg –expert –full-gen-key" command does not show all the "kind of keys"?
For Debian 12 and Ubuntu Desktop 22.04 when is executed the following command:
gpg --full-gen-key

(3) DSA (sign only)
(4) RSA (sign only)
(14) Existing key from card
Your selection?
gpg: signal Interrupt caught ... exiting
As you can see about the kind of keys there is a difference between 5 to 13. Thus if is executed the following command:
gpg --expert --full-gen-key

Your selection?
Thanks to the --expert option appears practically almost the complete the list.
If you see carefully the list is not complete
- Where is the 5,6 and 12 options?
- Why do they do not appear?
- Is possible to list them too? How?
