deleting GPG UIDs
hey,
i have my GPG key uploaded to the keyservers. unfortunately, i somehow
messed up, and now i have three UIDs associated with it:
fishbowl:~> gpg --list-keys A8FA196E
pub 1024D/A8FA196E 2001-05-07 MaD dUCK <madduck@madduck.net>
uid Martin F. Krafft <madduck@madduck.net>
uid Martin F. Krafft (MaD dUCK) ...
the last one is unecessary and i would like to delete it...
i can easily do:
fishbowl:~> gpg --yes --edit-key A8FA196E uid 3 deluid save
pub 1024D/A8FA196E created: 2001-05-07 expires: never trust: f/u
sub 2048g/E93FAECE created: 2001-05-07 expires: never
(1) Martin F. Krafft <madduck@madduck.net>
(2). MaD dUCK <madduck@madduck.net>
and even upload that key with gpg --send-key, but the keyserver
seems to merge the key rather than to overwrite it. there is no option
to revoke a UID and i can't revoke the entire key.
how can i delete the UID on the keyserver's copy of the key such that
gpg --recv-keys doesn't restore the third UID?
