Release: 1.4.1
Environment
Ubuntu Linux Breezy (5.10)
Description
--search-key broken with duplicate key ID (short).
Here is the example:
gpg --search-key Figuiere
gpg: searching for "Figuiere" from hkp server keyserver.ubuntu.com
(1) Hubert Figuiere <hub@nit.ca>
Hubert Figuiere <hub@figuiere.net> Hubert Figuiere <hub@abisource.com> Hubert Figuiere <hfiguiere@teaser.fr> Pedro R. Fernandez (GNU/Linux User #000.204.555 http://counter.li.org/ 1024 bit DSA key A56E15A3, created: 2002-01-30
(2) Hubert Figuiere <hub@abisource.com>
Hubert Figuiere <hfiguiere@teaser.fr> Pedro R. Fernandez (GNU/Linux User #000.204.555 http://counter.li.org/ 1024 bit DSA key A56E15A3, created: 2001-10-02
Keys 1-2 of 2 for "Figuiere". Enter number(s), N)ext, or Q)uit >
In short key ID A56E15A3 is duplicate as it match two keys on the server: mine (uid = hub@fguiere.net) and someone else (uid = Pedro R. Fernandez)
While I expect that searching with key ID should find both keys, search by name should not. It breaks other software like GPG enigmail for the same feature.
