[gentoo-user] Kgpg 1.2.2 does not show email addresses ...

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 834 bytes --]

Hi All,

I just noticed today that my kgpg 1.2.2 (using KDE 3.5.9) is not showing the 
email addresses of the public keys contained in it - i.e. the names are 
blank.  User IDs and signature email addresses are shown fine when one 
expands the tree.  

In case my description is too confusing I have attached a snapshot.

Subsequently, running a search for a key returns nil results.  The only way to 
find a particular key/signature involves me manually opening each key and 
looking at the individual userids.  I guess I could run:

gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --search-keys freddie@example.com

but I am not sure what's changed with kgpg and the info it shows on each key.  
Is this related to the move from gpg to gpg2?  Is there something wrong with 
my KDE?  Any idea how to fix this?

Second computer with the same symptoms ... this is not machine specific.  
Anyone else come across this problem?

I rarely use kgpg, but I just checked and mine is the same.

I looked at mine a while back, month or so, and it was normal.  Right
now, mine is blank as well.  Weird.  o_O

If it matters, KDE 3.5.10.  AMD CPU 2500+ with 2Gbs ram.  No USE flags
for that package either.

I had kgpg install and be used for the first time in KDE4 in this last week. 
The wizard ran, I made a new key and it showed up fine. But, the three old 
keys on the ring were blank. So it seems kgpg doesn't like old keys.

When you say old keys, were these imported from a key server, or you had them 
stored locally?  Were they perhaps created using gpg, as opposed to the later 
gpg2?  I wonder if there is some incompatibility between the two that causes 
this ...

I will need to renew my key pair soon because it is about to expire so I will 
no doubt see what the new keys do (as long as I remember to call 
gpg2 --gen-key rather than gpg).

Thank you all for your responses.

I'm not really sure to be honest. All three were stored locally from my 
kde-3.5 days (I stopped using gpg quite some time ago). Best guess is that one 
key was my own and the other two imported from key servers. It's likely that 
at least my own key would have been made with a version of gpg from before 
that gpg-2.01 incompatibility mess.

OK, OK, I know this is so completely and totally OT. But I don't care, and 
I've been around here long enough to get away with it:

Brilliant fortune! And I know just the manager who's email is gonna get the 
fortune appended to the end of every reply...

:-)

I think it is a Winston Churchill quote, but it could be one of those
that is attributed to several people.

I am experiencing similar (the same) behavior with kgpg 2.1.0 on KDE 4.2.
