Hello everybody a friend of mine told me about this nice service. I have tried to publish my public on http://wwwkeys.ch.pgp.net:11371/pks/addkey.html but when I click on submit I get this error:
Key block in add request contained no new keys, userid's, or signatures.
I have successfully published the same key on the most used keyserver and I have never had such problem. I also tried to publish my key through gpg but even though I get no error when I try to search my own key I get no results.
Can anyone help me?
Hello Noiano,
The error message you get when you try to upload the key just means that the key is already there. It was probably synced from another key server.
The reason your key doesn't exist in Wotsap is more interesting. It turns out that you have made your self signatures with SHA224 (algo 11), and the gpg version used to extract the signatures says "[unknown digest algorithm]" about your signatures. SHA224 is rather new and the gpg version is too old. It's a good thing we found out. I wonder how many other keys are affected by this. Once we upgrade gpg your key will be included after the next update.
Patrick, can you update gpg to a newer version?
