It seems the problem is related to www.keyserver.net. It appears that other keyservers handle the revocation signature for the UID correctly but keyserver.net doesn't. If i import the key from other keyservers it is ok but keyserver.net appears to be broken?
keyserver.net is probably the single WORST keyserver it is still possible to use. I spend a lot of time on the gnupg-users mailing list and the general feeling is that we would all be better off if that keyserver was shutdown. Use subkeys.pgp.net It's a DNS round-robin of the most reliable and most up to date keyservers. No-one should ever use keyserver.net - it has been known to break perfectly acceptable keys, even keys that don't have changed expiry dates or special subkeys. Simon's key is a case in point. If you refresh that from older PKS keyservers, you may end up with an unusable key for Simon. Always use the more capable SKS keyservers via subkeys.pgp.net or you risk importing a bad key. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.codehelp.co.uk/ http://www.dclug.org.uk/ http://www.isbn.org.uk/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/isbnsearch/ http://www.biglumber.com/x/web?qs=0x8801094A28BCB3E3
