dshaw added a comment to T1366: --min-cert-level should trigger --update-db.

I think this makes sense. It's not a hard change. Way back when, I did something similar for trust_model -
it's stored in the version record and if gpg detects that the current model does not match what is encoded in
the header, it marks the trustdb as pending_rebuild.

I think this is fine. I originally wrote the code to send short keyids as pksd
couldn't properly handle long keyids or fingerprints. As pksd is now dead, and
sks properly handles this, I think it is reasonable to send the longest ID
appropriate (send fingerprints if we have them, long keyids if we have them, and
short keyids if we must).

Good idea. I think an adaptation of that code will do nicely. I think what is
needed here is a pass through that code, which almost always returns UTF8, then
a pass through utf8_to_native and then native_to_utf8. This is a lot of
manipulation, but string_to_utf8 may not return UTF8 if the user ID is coded
very badly, and the LDAP server will reject anything that isn't UTF8

the algorithm for de-corrupting the key is somewhat expensive, essentially

I think this is good, but doesn't go far enough. I'm thinking that if
force_v3_sigs is set (either directly or via --pgpX commands), then we should
allow that to override all of policy URLs, notations, and keyserver URLs. Right
now, it only overrides expiration dates, which is inconsistent (overriding some
v4 features, but not all). I'll see what I can make for that.

This is not a bug. We do not support that keyserver over
HKP, only LDAP. It is true we used to in 1.4.2 (and in fact
you can reenable such support in 1.4.3 by building with
--enable-old-keyserver-helpers), but this required GPG to
parse the HTML response which varied slightly between
different keyservers. As new keyserver types came online,
we had to detect their own flavor of that HTML and adapt to
it - utterly unscalable. Newer keyservers either use LDAP
or (like pgp.mit.edu) use a consistent machine-readable output.
