New uid not recognised
Closed, InvalidPublic

Description

I have my secret key on two machines. On one of them, I added a new uid and
uploaded to a keyserver. On the other, I refreshed, and received the uid. When
I use
gpg --clearsign --local-user "Bas Wijnen <wijnen@debian.org>" on the first
machine, everything works fine. However, on the other machine, it says "gpg:
error reading key: secret key not available". When using a different uid from
the same key (shevek@fmf.nl), everything works fine. gpg --list-keys wijnen
shows no other keys than that one.

The selection is done on the information on the secret key. Thus you see that
error message. Export the secret key and import it again on the other machine.
