If I understand properly what you're doing, this is not a bug. The person issuing a signature is ultimately in charge to select the digest when they make the signature. While you can set a digest preference on a key, it is merely a request for people making a signature for your benefit to use a digest that you like. In GnuPG, the digest preference is consulted only for data signatures, not key signatures. David -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
