Summary0001277: PGP key signing tells me "The format of the UID was not recognized"
DescriptionWhen I just tried to get my PGP key signed by cacert it told me:
The format of the UID was not recognized. Please use 'Name (comment) <email@domain>'
No valid UIDs found on your key

I can only guess what the reason is: I have a special character (ö) in my name, maybe that messes something up in the system. My UIDs look pretty normal:

uid Johannes Böck <hanno@hboeck.de>
uid Johannes Böck <hanno@gentoo.org>
uid Johannes Böck <hanno@schokokeks.org>

My Keyid is BBB51E42, key can be found on any keyserver.

I created a User with
First Name: Johannes
Last Name: Böck
Email: hanno@gentoo.org
Additional Email: hanno@schokokeks.org
Additional Email: hanno@hboeck.de

on the testserver.

Signing the key with the given id worked for all 3 identities.

=> cant reproduce

Okay, so maybe it's not the special char but something else.

The self-signatues of my key are using SHA256, which is still non-standard in gnupg (which is a shame...). Maybe that's the issue?
