Package: gnupg
Version: 1.4.5-2
Severity: minor

Hi,

gpg(1) says:

  --send-keys [names]

.  However, doing stuff like "gpg --send-key [EMAIL PROTECTED]" (or even:
"gpg --send-key joe") won't work: it will respond with

 gpg: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" not a key ID: skipping

.  Changing the manpage to say

  --send-keys [key IDs]

seems to be the solution for this bug.

(At one point in time, before gnupg 1.4.1, one _was_ allowed to pass a
"name" to --send-keys.  Lot's of howto's still suggest that usage.)

Thanks, Bye,

Joost
