import OpenPGP key into Launchpad
I cannot import my gpg key into Launchpad. I have made it as per the instructions in Launchpad using the 'Password and Keys" tool (rather than my preferred command line), sent it successfully to the Ubuntu KeyServer and then, after ensuring its arrived at the keyserver, copied the "fingerprint" to the appropriate page in Launchpad.
Launchpad tells me it will send me an email (but does not tell it has done so). Nothing.
Now, I see a lot of mentions about Launchpad accepting only v1 gpg keys. However, I have followed the Launchpad instructions meticulously and I am using Ubuntu18.04. I have not, manually replaced a gpg v1 with a gpc v2 but, looking at the man page, it seems I do have only gpg v2 installed.
Is the Launchpad documentation out of date ? I need to revoke that key, install gpg1 and generate a dated key and try again.
or am I doing something else quite wrong ? If so, what can I do to correct the situation ?
Thanks
Davo
