The biggest problem is that I have a public key that was published back about pgp-262 or 262a time, 20 years back, so its out there "someplace", so I expect I should try to locate it and remove it from view/use before I try to setup another. Unforch ther drive in the amiga died, and took the keys with it to that great pasture that shitty drives goto when they fail.

Well I'll be... From 15 years ago even.
you can upload the revocation to revoke it.
Using kgpg I assume, and the id strings that page displays.
I don't recall if I set an expire on it or not. Or without the shorter ID string, how to convince the key-servers its mine, so its ok to nuke that puppy.
obviously not
Following along, Iam lucky, I had made a revoke.asc file on two of my id's. Mine is from 2001, never used it though..to much work.
I used the command line, gpg2, and directons from "Askubuntu", out of many dsearch results.
