Description Klaus Layer 2012-07-15 10:30:11 UTC

I am using kgpg 2.7.3 with kubuntu 12.04 64bit. If I search with the key server dialog for a key i.e. B973BA7B kgpg tells me that it did not find the key. My keyserver option in gpg.conf is set to "keyserver  hkp://keys.gnupg.net", same key server is set in kgpg. Doing the same on the command line gpg finds the key. I sniffed with wireshark and found that for all keys that have a hpk info count == 1 kgpg tells the user that the key was not found. For hpk info count > 1 it works as expected.






Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. search with kgpg for a key were the hpk protocol returns a info field with count 1

Actual Results:  
kgpg does not find keys where hpk info field count is 1

Expected Results:  
kgpg should show that is found the key as for keys with count > 1

Comment 1 Rolf Eike Beer 2012-07-15 11:32:45 UTC

I can't find the key using GnuPG from the commandline:

gpg --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net --search-key B973BA7B
gpg: searching for "B973BA7B" from hkp server keys.gnupg.net
gpg: key "B973BA7B" not found on keyserver

Comment 2 Klaus Layer 2012-07-15 11:45:36 UTC

Hmm, same works for me:

gpg --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net --search-key B973BA7B
gpg: searching for "B973BA7B" from hkp server keys.gnupg.net
(1)     NetBank AG <pgp@netbank.de>
          1024 bit DSA key B973BA7B, created: 2000-09-27

keys.gnupg.net resolves to a key server pool, maybe you got a bad one. To ensure that we test with the same server please use 109.230.243.87.

For this server I get 

gpg --keyserver hkp://109.230.243.87 --search-key B973BA7B
gpg: searching for "B973BA7B" from hkp server 109.230.243.87
(1)     NetBank AG <pgp@netbank.de>
          1024 bit DSA key B973BA7B, created: 2000-09-27

Does this work for your?

Comment 3 Rolf Eike Beer 2012-07-15 11:55:20 UTC

Nope, still returns error. GnuPG 2.0.18 here.

Comment 4 Klaus Layer 2012-07-15 12:29:12 UTC

Well it seems to depend on the gpg version:

gpg2 --version
gpg (GnuPG) 2.0.17
libgcrypt 1.5.0

gpg2 --keyserver hkp://109.230.243.87 --search-key B973BA7B
gpg: searching for "B973BA7B" from hkp server 109.230.243.87
gpg: key "B973BA7B" not found on keyserver

-----
gpg --version
gpg (GnuPG) 1.4.11

gpg --keyserver hkp://109.230.243.87 --search-key B973BA7B
gpg: searching for "B973BA7B" from hkp server 109.230.243.87
(1)     NetBank AG <pgp@netbank.de>
          1024 bit DSA key B973BA7B, created: 2000-09-27

can you please test with gpg. I observe the error when using gpg.

Comment 5 Rolf Eike Beer 2012-07-15 13:09:41 UTC

If I tell my GnuPG to use gpg1 it finds that key. Are you sure your KGpg uses gpg1? And please ask the GnuPG people why this doesn't work anymore with gpg2.

Comment 6 Klaus Layer 2012-07-15 13:41:53 UTC

Yes I am sure that I use gpg. I have set /usr/bin/gpg in the kgpg settings. Where does kgpg store this setting? Can I do anything more to track down this issue?

I have sent a mail to gpg-users for the different search behavior of gpg/gpg2 regarding B973BA7B.

Comment 7 Klaus Layer 2012-07-15 14:30:48 UTC

The guys from gpg-users told me that gpg2 wants the 0x before the key id. Regarding kgpg that does not change anything. Independent of if have set /usr/bin/gpg or /usr/bin/gpg2, it does not find 0xB973BA7B.

This is not limited to that key 0xB973BA7B. Searching for the string pgp@netbank.de also does not work with kgpg. Other examples are 0xDD9B3E3F, 0x46778C6B or 0x1C6CDA58
