`keybase verify dir kbpgp` returns an error ("public key not found")

Hi,

I wanted to try out some of the command-line features of Keybase, and noticed that you could run keybase dir verify on this project after cloning it. Unfortunately, I'm getting the following output after running that command:

warn: gpg: Signature made Thu Sep 18 10:26:36 2014 EDT

My installation of gpg is from Homebrew - here's the output of brew info gpg:

I think the problem is this:

 warn: gpg: key 6052B2AD31A6631C: rejected by import filter

Do you have some stuff in your gpg.conf file? Does it work with the -O option?

keybase -O dir verify kbpgp

I get the same output using keybase -O dir verify kbpgp.

I do also have GPGTools for Mac OS X installed, and it has added some things to my gpg.conf. From my knowledge, it doesn't look like any of them would interfere with this task. Do you know if it's safe to put gpg.conf in a Gist?

[maxtaco]

Yes, it's usually safe

Here's my gpg.conf: https://gist.github.com/arielkirkwood/75017299e3f1e31a9035

Thanks for that.

Well, I can't reproduce it, even with the same version of GnuPG. However, maybe it's a bug in that version? I found this when googling around for your error.
