Invalid argument(s): Unsupported block type for private key: 17

[cconstab]

Describe the bug

When sending an at_talk message from @atgps01 to @atgps02 messages never arrive. When running with -v the following message appears in the log:-

'SEVERE|2023-01-27 09:09:43.059190| atTalk |Invalid argument(s): Unsupported block type for private key: 17'

This was the first time that these two atSigns communicated. This issue does NOT happen everytime in fact I have not seen it at all with other atSigns communicating.

But I also see no way to correct the error from a dev point of view.

Steps to reproduce

1. First I run two at_talk commands to communicate between atgps01 and atgps02 then send message from atgps01
2. Message is never received
3. And then I run the same command but with -v and see the error message

Expected behavior

Never to have a miss managed key if that is what the issue is.

No response

Smartphones

code used is the nosync branch which uses the at_chops lib

https://github.com/atsign-foundation/at_talk/tree/nosync

Were you using an atApplication when the bug was found?

at_talk

Additional context

I was testing to ensure that newly created atSigns can communicate without a problem using chops and notification (this used to have other issues in that the RSA key was not in place)

@cconstab has either atSign been reset?

The error log is pretty brutal, here is a sample..

So on a hunch I deleted the ~/.ai6bh/@atgps01 directory to force a resync and can now send stuff again.. If anyone needs/wants the deleted directory I have it..
