Cannot synchronize key - Githubissues

D4nte commented 4 years ago

I was not able to synchronize one of my key from mailvelope saying the email could not be sent.

I went directly to https://keys.mailvelope.com/manage.html to upload it (after successfully uploading it to the ubuntu keyserver).

When pasting the following key I get error Error! Encrypting message for verification email failed.

I use gpg --armor --export BB6DE122BAC91D1260B68C73A82ED75A8DFC50A4 to export the key.

I tested this key and with the current version of the key server at keys.mailvelope.com 5 different verification emails would be sent out for the 5 valid emails on this key.

The problem with this key is that it has no sub key, which is usually used for encryption. And your primary key can only be used for signing:

Hashed Sub: key flags(sub 27)(1 bytes)
        Flag - This key may be used to certify other keys
        Flag - This key may be used to sign data

The key server therefore fails when trying to encrypt the verification email with this key.
