Package: gnupg Version: 1.4.10-2 Severity: normal keyring.debian.org currently offers a limited subset of HKP, covering only gpg's --send and --recv options. --search is not implemented, as is apparent from the HTTP 406 return code and message returned from searches like the following:
http://keyring.debian.org/pks/lookup?op=index&options=mr&search=dkg&exact=on (HTTP 406 means "Not Acceptable", which itself seems like it might be slightly misapplied [0]). However, gpg seems to think that the search was simply empty, rather than a particular failure: 0 d...@pip:~$ gpg --keyserver keyring.debian.org --search dkg gpg: searching for "dkg" from hkp server keyring.debian.org gpg: key "dkg" not found on keyserver 0 d...@pip:~$ when in fact, there is a key "dkg" on the keyserver; it's just the search query that isn't implemented. While implementing this functionality on keyring.debian.org would be nice, it'd also be nice to have gpg report this as an error state to the user so they don't get confused and think the keyserver simply doesn't hold a matching key. --dkg [0] http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html#sec10.4.7 -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (200, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-trunk-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages gnupg depends on: ii dpkg 1.15.5.6 Debian package management system ii gpgv 1.4.10-2 GNU privacy guard - signature veri ii install-info 4.13a.dfsg.1-5 Manage installed documentation in ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.5-4 high-quality block-sorting file co ii libc6 2.10.2-6 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libreadline5 5.2-7 GNU readline and history libraries ii libusb-0.1-4 2:0.1.12-14 userspace USB programming library ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime Versions of packages gnupg recommends: ii gnupg-curl 1.4.10-2 GNU privacy guard - a free PGP rep ii libldap-2.4-2 2.4.17-2.1 OpenLDAP libraries Versions of packages gnupg suggests: pn gnupg-doc <none> (no description available) ii imagemagick 7:6.5.8.3-1+b1 image manipulation programs ii libpcsclite1 1.5.5-3 Middleware to access a smart card ii xloadimage 4.1-16.1 Graphics file viewer under X11 -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
