Hi folks-- i'm seeing some strange behavior with the keyservers on GNU/Linux systems that don't have a UTF-8 locale, or when LANG is set to something non-UTF8:
0 dkg@pip:~$ LANG=C gpg --keyserver keys.mayfirst.org --search '=Andrew Lee (李
健秋) <ajq...@debian.org>'
gpg: searching for "=Andrew Lee (æå¥ç§) <ajq...@debian.org>" from hkp server
keys.mayfirst.org
(1) Andrew Lee <and...@linux.org.tw>
Andrew Lee (\xe6\x9d\x8e\xe5\x81\xa5\xe7\xa7\x8b) <ajq...@debian.org>
Andrew Lee (\xe6\x9d\x8e\xe5\x81\xa5\xe7\xa7\x8b) <and...@debian.org.t
Andrew Lee (§?î) <and...@linux.org.tw>
1024 bit DSA key 0xB6250985, created: 2004-11-02
Keys 1-1 of 1 for "=Andrew Lee (李健秋) <ajq...@debian.org>". Enter number(s),
N)ext, or Q)uit > q
0 dkg@pip:~$ LANG=C gpg --keyserver keys.mayfirst.org --search '=Antoine
Beaupré (work) <anar...@koumbit.org>''
gpg: searching for "=Antoine Beaupré (work) <anar...@koumbit.org>" from hkp
server keys.mayfirst.org
gpg: key "=Antoine Beaupré (work) <anar...@koumbit.org>" not found on keyserver
0 dkg@pip:~$
Note that the --search for Andrew's UTF-8 User ID succeeds, but
Antoine's fails.
This behavior happens on both gpg 1.4.12 and 2.0.19, and it happens with
or without debian's gnupg-curl packages installed.
Given that User IDs must be UTF-8-encoded, i'm not sure what the right
thing to do is here.
I tried searching for this bug on https://bugs.g10code.com, but i'm
getting an error when i search for the term "charset" for some reason.
Any suggestions for the right direction for a fix?
