Removing email addresses from gpg-key?
I'm trying to remove a couple of obsolete email addresses from my GPG key.
Using the "deluid" command available after running "gpg --edit-key" works
successfully. But once I upload my modified key to various keyservers I
see the identities be re-added by the keyserver at debian.org:
After removing some identities:
steve@skx2:~$ gpg --list-key CD4C0D9D
pub 1024D/CD4C0D9D 2002-05-29
uid Steve Kemp <skx@gnu.org>
uid Steve Kemp <skx@debian.org>
uid Steve Kemp <steve@steve.org.uk>
sub 2048g/AC995563 2002-05-29
Now I upload the key to various servers.
*time passes*
Finally I refresh it:
steve@skx2:~$ gpg --keyserver keyring.debian.org --recv-keys CD4C0D9D
gpg: requesting key CD4C0D9D from hkp server keyring.debian.org
gpg: key CD4C0D9D: "Steve Kemp <skx@gnu.org>" 2 new user IDs
gpg: key CD4C0D9D: "Steve Kemp <skx@gnu.org>" 23 new signatures
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg: new user IDs: 2
gpg: new signatures: 23
Here we see "new user IDs:2" - and as this suggests the removed IDs
are back! I dont want them anymore!
What can I do in this case? Is it just a matter of being more patient
after uploading the key. Or should I report a bug to the Debian keyring
pseudo-package?
