Title:
Bug in Seahorse's "remote key search"
Status in seahorse:
Expired
Status in seahorse package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
Binary package hint: seahorse
I firstly published my public key using seahorse but I made an error on one
on the email adress of one of my my uids.
Then, as the version of seahorse I run (2.26.1) doesn't allow to revoke uids,
I used the gpg command line interface to revoke the bad uid, and to send the
modified public keyring to the server (gpg.mit.edu).
When I searched my name (matthieu) using searhorse's search, I
realised it has disappeared from the list (perhaps the manipulations I
described above are only a coincidence).
I used the cli to search my name (gpg --search-keys matthieu) and I
found my keys easily.
After a lot of manipulations, I finally understood that seahorse sees
me as "user attribute packet" and not as COUDERT Matthieu : I searched
the word "matt" instead of "matthieu" and I discovered that I wasn't
alone in that case, many other keyring are named like this.
You can try : search words of four letters (not those which you think
about ;-) ) : e.g. : "cora", "sieg" -> there are many people called
"user attribute packet". I don't know why, but they seem to only
appear when I type four letter "names".
I tried 2.27.1 (built version from
http://launchpad.net:~dranger003/+archive/ppa/+build/1128995) : the
bug remains.
My opinion : I also published a picture of me (and I think this is the
real "user attribute packet" item) : perhaps the search engine is
buggy and sees it as the primary uid.
I hope this problem will be easy to solve.
Thanks for the work you already did.
Matthieu COUDERT.
