I've had this problem with Wotsap for a while: my key doesn't show up on it, though the key is certainly in the strong set.
It may well be because it is a V4 RSA key, and the keyserver you are pulling your data from has a bug that miscalculates the keyid of V4 RSA keys. My key is 0x99242560, but shows up on wwwkeys.ch.pgp.net as 0x68FDDBC7. Neither keyid shows up in Wotsap, though.
Yep, that's the problem. If pks doesn't return the key I ask for I can't include the key - we don't extract all keys, just the ones that are referenced in seen signatures. (It might have worked before when pks also parsed the keys for signatures if it wrote the incorrect keyid there too, but GnuPG takes care of that now.)
Patrick, would upgrading pks make it calculate these keyids correctly?

Hi!
Patrick, would upgrading pks make it calculate these keyids correctly?
i think so. The update is on my task list and should be done thies year...
cheers, Patrick

I added a fix for this bug to PKS, so the current version should handle V4 RSA correctly, but note that PKS still has other severe bugs with keys that have more than one subkey. SKS may be a better choice, if you can handle it.
