Expired Self-sig on UID leaves account in a broken state

[maxtaco]

For the user feld:

Your public key appears corrupted (no valid primary key self-signature)

Try keybase push --update BTW?

I've never installed the keybase client.... mostly because of the node requirement.

That's no problem. Just upload your new public key to the site. That should solve the problem. Let me know if not.

In your profile, there's a gear. Click on the gear and click "Update my key"

I get that same error when I try to replace it with the pub key from the mit.edu key server

[maxtaco]

ok, i'll take a deeper look. thanks.

[maxtaco]

Do you get the error on initial upload, or after you've run the gpg/perl/curl command line?

[ghost]

The error started after I tried to update my public key. I can't recall why; it's been this way since like... November?

[maxtaco]

Right, I'm just trying to understand at which point in the process you get that error. Something like a screenshot would greatly help. I'm so far not able to reproduce the bug.

My next move is to try to create a key with a UID that's valid today and expired tomorrow. I'll hopefully get to that soon, but I'm pretty busy today with other stuff.

(And BTW, the November date makes sense, that was the expiration date on your UID in the key you originally uploaded).

Here's the screenshot:

Perfect, thank you.

Ok, I see the issue. We're loading up your old public key to compare fingerprints to the new public key, but the loading of the old is failing because of the expired UID. I should have a fix in about 30 minutes or so. Thanks for your help debugging this. I'll let you know when to try again.

There's only so much I could test on my end, but it might now work. Give it another shot? Many thanks!

Hey, no more errors! It let me upload it and it's not going to error when I fix my github identity verification -- thanks!

[maxtaco]

Phew. Ok to close? Thanks for your help.

[ghost]

yes, go ahead 👍
