[michi@localhost]~$ gpg --keyserver ldap://keyserver.pgp.com --send-keys
99242560
gpgkeys: error adding key 99242560 to keyserver: Already exists
gpg: keyserver internal error

Currently I don't have a key to change, but next time I have to signe a key
I'll try to check if tis is simply an errouros error-message.

Should we try to intervene to make them rewrap priorities?

Gives me plenty of trouble, since I made a friend change from PGP to GPG and
 now he can't find his other PGP using friends any more ...
