Sorry, there were two glitches in the original instructions:
- You need to generate the GPG home directory before ($ mkdir test), otherwise key generation will fail.

- The "$ gpg --edit-key name-of-first-key" should instead be "$ gpg --homedir test --local-user name-of-second-key -edit-key name-of-first-key". I.e. the home directory was not specified, and you need to tell GPG to use the *second key* for signing the first.
