I have trouble updating some keys with GnuPG. Is there a bug?
</a></h3>
<p>
This is a problem with current versions of GnuPG. If you are
trying to update a key whose owner has not opted-in to having
their userid(s) published, GnuPG will complain complain about
the key having no userid:
</p>
<blockquote>
$ gpg --receive-keys FB3751F1587DAEF<br>
gpg: key FB3751F1587DAEF1: no user ID
</blockquote>
<p>
We are working with the GnuPG team to resolve this problem.
