When I do gpg --list-secret-keys I get a response of a key I've imported but it's located in ~/.gnupg/pubring.kbx



I exported my public.key and private.key each with gpg --import and when I imported the private.key it asked me for my secret passphrase so I assumed it all went well.



I saw a blog post earlier and their output from --list-secret-keys returned a result located in ~/.gnupg/secring.gpg where as my result comes from ~/.gnupg/pubring.kbx



My concern is that I've imported them wrong. Is it ok to have my private key returned from the pubring file ? Or is this just there because my paired public key is located there?
