sorry for my imprecise formulation. It is not installable for me, because it 
means removing applications that I use regularly (kmymoney, kgpg).

My key is similar to Tim's key.

$ hkt export-pubkeys 0x506F3F15B65A2BC1 | hokey lint
hokey (hopenpgp-tools) 0.16.3

Both
gpg -u 0x506F3F15B65A2BC1 --clearsign test_file
gpg2 -u 0x506F3F15B65A2BC1 --clearsign test_file 
work and create a signature in test_file.asc.

I do not see these warnings.
