It's not you, it's the owner of that particular key:
$ gpg -v --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-key 0xE1D5DBC3
gpg: requesting key E1D5DBC3 from pgp.mit.edu ...
gpg: armor header: Version: 5.0
gpg: armor header: Comment: PGP Key Server 0.9.4+patch2
gpg: pub 1024R/E1D5DBC3 1997-01-31 Eric A. Lucas <lucas@op.net>
gpg: key E1D5DBC3: skipped user ID 'Eric A. Lucas <lucas@op.net>'
gpg: key E1D5DBC3: no valid user IDs
gpg: this may be caused by a missing self-signature
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg: w/o user IDs: 1
Seems that there is no uid set for this key. Matter of fact:
$ gpg --fingerprint 0xE1D5DBC
gpg: error reading key: malformed user id
Ugh. Taking a look at their listing on keyserver.net:
http://search.keyserver.net:11371/pks/lookup?template=netensearch&search=0xE1D5DBC3&op=vindex
it seems that the key was signed 6 times, 5 of which are the same person
using different keys, and all of them within a month of each other,
back in 1997. I'd discard it: hopefully M. Lucas has a non-broken
key now. :)
Uh oh. I just tried to delete it, but:
$ gpg --delete-key 0xE1D5DBC
gpg: 0xE1D5DBC: delete key failed: malformed user id
Erg. I gotta bad feeling about this. Good thing I keep a backup of
my (public) keyring handy. Anyone know a way to actually remove it?
