Dear Mentors:

I'm a Debian Maintainer now (not a DD, just the new separate status) and
I'm trying to figure out why my upload was rejected.  Here's the message
I sent to an @ftpmaster.debian.org address, but maybe some of you can help?


$ gpg --list-key 70096AD1
pub   1024D/70096AD1 2005-12-28

You need to edit your key so that the UID that you use is the primary
UID. GnuPG may simply be using whichever UID was created first.

Use:

$ gpg --edit-key 70096AD1
uid 3
primary
save
$ gpg --send-key 70096AD1

I see, okay!  Thanks. (-:

To see the effect, do:
$ gpg --recv-key 28bcb3e3
$ gpg --list-key 28bcb3e3

Got it.

My debian.org UID is at the top of the list when it was actually created
after all the others because the key is (naturally) older than my DD status.

Listing your key shows the rejected UID at the top of the list.

Rejected: dm:asheesh@creativecommons.org may not upload/NMU source
package alpine

Everything in the upload was done with the asheesh@asheesh.org ID of my
key 0x70096AD1;

Not really. The primary UID determines that and gpg currently has that
set to the creativecommons UID.

Great, this is a real help!  I've --send-key'd with the updated key.

The only question is, what do I do now so that the ftpmaster.debian.org machines will accept my uploads?

It would be nice to be sure of anything the way some people are of everything.
