missing subkey

[Neil Williams]

Was anyone else able to verify Stoyan's message on the list (Re: Detection of 
sign-only vs. sign-and-encrypt keys) Yesterday 1:12:04 and again today?

I use Debian unstable, GnuPG 1.2.4 and --auto-key-retrieve and 
--include-subkeys with keyserver.kjsl.com but the subkey is not found, even 
though the main key is imported seemingly successfully. 

The subkey shows up on the search results page using a www interface, but it 
is not imported.

Here's my output:

http://sks.keyserver.penguin.de:11371/pks/lookup?search=0x1E3D95C3&fingerprint=on&op=vindex
 gives the main key as 0xB8D71FB6 - which I already have in the keyring:

gpg: Signature made Sat Jun 26 07:59:42 2004 BST using DSA key ID 1E3D95C3

gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg:              unchanged: 1

Your key only shows up with one subkey, 5831A000

neil at garfield:~$ gpg --delete-key B8D71FB6

Delete this key from the keyring? yes

neil at garfield:~$ gpg --import

(pasted the key block as on this page:)
http://sks.keyserver.penguin.de:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x8C12BBBAB8D71FB6

gpg: key B8D71FB6: public key "Stoyan Dimitrov " imported
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg:               imported: 1
neil at garfield:~$ gpg --list-key  B8D71FB6
pub  1024D/B8D71FB6 2004-06-15 Stoyan Dimitrov

sub  2048g/5831A000 2004-06-15

No second subkey, despite it being shown on the search page.

I also tried my preferred keyserver and had the same result. The subkey shows 
in the results but is not imported.
http://keyserver.kjsl.com:11371/pks/lookup?docmd=lookup&op=vindex&search=0xB8D71FB6&fingerprint=on

I've sent this to the list as well because I can't see what has happened to 
the key and how the second subkey can be imported.
