deluid deleting all exact copies from secret key
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

To reproduce:

  • Edit a key with a "Herp Derp" uid
  • adduid a new "Herp Derp" uid
  • uid 1 and deluid
  • Now you correctly see only one uid, great. save
  • gpg -K and... surprise, your secret key has no uid, while your public key does

An edge case, I know. But might happen if one wants to refresh (delete and recreate) a uid for some reason.
Probably has to do with the "duplicated user ID detected - merged" feature.
