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