unable to sign public key

[incanus]

I've tried several times, but I can't get it to work. I get:

Bad signature uploaded: We don't have a key for the requested PGP ops

My key, if it's useful:

http://pgp.mit.edu/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xF7877A2BC9C40C31

It has two revoked identities on it (old email addresses), if that helps.

Thanks, I'll try to take a look tonight. Can you send me the signature you tried to upload too? Many thanks. It's 100% public, feel free to post it into this issue.

Gracias. I'm in the middle of something now, I'll take a look when I hit a good stopping point.

[maxtaco]

So I see what's going on, though I'm not quite sure what to do. Your key lacks any key flags, so our software can't figure out how to verify the given signature. I guess we can take the attitude that the primary key should always be used for verification purposes...

[incanus]

Cool. This could date from the fact that the current only ID on the keychain was a secondary (actually, tertiary one) and the original was revoked. It may even be that key flags automatically get applied properly now, but I would have done this circa 2001. I can add the flags?

[incanus]

Hmm, been digging around and my key does appear to have flags on it. When editing:

Secret key is available.

pub  1024D/C9C40C31  created: 2001-05-25  expires: never       usage: SCA 
                     trust: ultimate      validity: ultimate
sub  1024g/xxxxxxxx  created: 2001-05-25  expires: never       usage: E   
[ultimate] (1). Justin R. Miller <incanus@xxxxxxxx.xxx>

The SCA means sign/certify/authenticate and the E on the private means encrypt, which makes sense. So it appears to have flags?

[maxtaco]

Oh interesting. There might be a sensible default that gpg is applying or
maybe there is a different way to convey key flags. I will investigate
further tonight when I get home.

Another theory is that with DSA and ElGamal, it's obvious which key to use for what. I think I have a fix I can roll out for you in an hour or two.

[maxtaco]

Ok, fix is live, let me know if you still have problems. Thanks for your feedback!

[incanus]

Booyah, works! 👍

[maxtaco]

Booyah indeed. Thanks Justin!
