There is no problem. We've known for quite a long time that short key ID collisions are possible: that's why you can't rely on a short key ID as a fingerprint. There's room for some healthy debate on whether GnuPG should be sending full fingerprints to query for keys, but honestly, calling this a "problem" is really overstating things. There's some behavior that some users find less than optimal, but that's not the same as saying there's a bug in GnuPG that can cause crashes, reveal your data, or anything else like that. _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
