I'm running:

And get gpg: error retrieving `gu...@gushi.org' via DNS CERT: No fingerprint

I exported my key with:

gpg --export --export-options minimal > file; and make-dns-cert -n gushi.gushi.org -f file

It works fine for me.  What version of GPG are you using?

I tried this again, after I nuked the "fingerprint" cert record.

Oddly, running on gpg2 on an older debian system, I get:

# echo "foo" | gpg2 -v -v --auto-key-locate cert --encrypt -r gu...@gushi.org
gpg: no keyserver known (use option --keyserver)
gpg: error retrieving `gu...@gushi.org' via DNS CERT: General error
gpg: gu...@gushi.org: skipped: General error
gpg: [stdin]: encryption failed: General error

That first line specifically makes me scratch my head a bit.

(The gpg manpage also appears to be a bit corrupted on this system).

On my bsd system, I get what you see at http://www.gushi.org/gpg.txt. It retrieves the key, but complains of "no fingerprint", however it actually DOES import the key, so it works a second time. If you require a shell to play with this, let me know and I'll provide one. With the demise of thawte's free cert offering, I'd really like to do what I can to increase awareness of this stuff.

On my ubuntu desktop, it works fine.

I suspect strongly that this feature doesn't get the most broad platform testing. Let me know if you'd like to help.
