The long key id can be view with the command: 

gpg --list-keys --keyid-format long <keyid>

It did not work. I still get the same error as before.


I somehow doubt that this suggested solution would work, but how do I
get the 16 last characters ? I remember seeing it when it was generated.

        If the above does not help, try using the long key ID, 16 last
        characters (instead of 8) of the key's fingerprint.
