I'm trying to remove a couple of obsolete email addresses from my GPG key.
Using the "deluid" command available after running "gpg --edit-key" works successfully. But once I upload my modified key to various keyservers I see the identities be re-added by the keyserver at debian.org: After removing some identities: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ gpg --list-key CD4C0D9D pub 1024D/CD4C0D9D 2002-05-29 uid Steve Kemp <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> uid Steve Kemp <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> uid Steve Kemp <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> sub 2048g/AC995563 2002-05-29 Now I upload the key to various servers. *time passes* Finally I refresh it: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ gpg --keyserver keyring.debian.org --recv-keys CD4C0D9D gpg: requesting key CD4C0D9D from hkp server keyring.debian.org gpg: key CD4C0D9D: "Steve Kemp <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" 2 new user IDs gpg: key CD4C0D9D: "Steve Kemp <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" 23 new signatures gpg: Total number processed: 1 gpg: new user IDs: 2 gpg: new signatures: 23 Here we see "new user IDs:2" - and as this suggests the removed IDs are back! I dont want them anymore! What can I do in this case? Is it just a matter of being more patient after uploading the key. Or should I report a bug to the Debian keyring pseudo-package? Steve --
