The basic issue is that not all keyservers "know" about the update. For instance, pgp.mit.edu did not when I checked: gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys C2C60518; gpg --list-keys C2C60518 gpg: requesting key C2C60518 from hkp server pgp.mit.edu gpg: key C2C60518: "Robert L. Cochran (Greenbelt) <[email protected]>" not changed gpg: Total number processed: 1 gpg: unchanged: 1 pub 1024D/C2C60518 2008-01-19 [expired: 2009-01-18] uid Robert L. Cochran (Greenbelt) <[email protected]> However, the server you used did: gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys C2C60518; gpg --list-keys C2C60518 gpg: requesting key C2C60518 from hkp server subkeys.pgp.net gpg: key C2C60518: "Robert L. Cochran (Greenbelt) <[email protected]>" 2 new signatures gpg: 3 marginal(s) needed, 1 complete(s) needed, PGP trust model gpg: depth: 0 valid: 1 signed: 0 trust: 0-, 0q, 0n, 0m, 0f, 1u gpg: Total number processed: 1 gpg: new signatures: 2 pub 1024D/C2C60518 2008-01-19 [expires: 2010-02-21] uid Robert L. Cochran (Greenbelt) <[email protected]> This can be remedied by sending to the uninformed keyservers. gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --send-keys C2C60518 gpg: sending key C2C60518 to hkp server pgp.mit.edu Then, we see pgp.mit.edu is now aware of the update. gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys C2C60518; gpg --list-keys C2C60518 gpg: requesting key C2C60518 from hkp server pgp.mit.edu gpg: key C2C60518: "Robert L. Cochran (Greenbelt) <[email protected]>" not changed gpg: Total number processed: 1 gpg: unchanged: 1 pub 1024D/C2C60518 2008-01-19 [expires: 2010-02-21] uid Robert L. Cochran (Greenbelt) <[email protected] Of course, the key servers ordinarily share keys amongst themselves every so often. But a manual update can't hurt.
