Hi folks-- i'm seeing some strange behavior with the keyservers on GNU/Linux systems that don't have a UTF-8 locale, or when LANG is set to something non-UTF8:
0 dkg@pip:~$ LANG=C gpg --keyserver keys.mayfirst.org --search '=Andrew Lee (李 健秋) <[email protected]>' gpg: searching for "=Andrew Lee (æå¥ç§) <[email protected]>" from hkp server keys.mayfirst.org (1) Andrew Lee <[email protected]> Andrew Lee (\xe6\x9d\x8e\xe5\x81\xa5\xe7\xa7\x8b) <[email protected]> Andrew Lee (\xe6\x9d\x8e\xe5\x81\xa5\xe7\xa7\x8b) <[email protected] Andrew Lee (§?î) <[email protected]> 1024 bit DSA key 0xB6250985, created: 2004-11-02 Keys 1-1 of 1 for "=Andrew Lee (李健秋) <[email protected]>". Enter number(s), N)ext, or Q)uit > q 0 dkg@pip:~$ LANG=C gpg --keyserver keys.mayfirst.org --search '=Antoine Beaupré (work) <[email protected]>'' gpg: searching for "=Antoine Beaupré (work) <[email protected]>" from hkp server keys.mayfirst.org gpg: key "=Antoine Beaupré (work) <[email protected]>" not found on keyserver 0 dkg@pip:~$ Note that the --search for Andrew's UTF-8 User ID succeeds, but Antoine's fails. This behavior happens on both gpg 1.4.12 and 2.0.19, and it happens with or without debian's gnupg-curl packages installed. Given that User IDs must be UTF-8-encoded, i'm not sure what the right thing to do is here. I tried searching for this bug on https://bugs.g10code.com, but i'm getting an error when i search for the term "charset" for some reason. Any suggestions for the right direction for a fix? --dkg
