Launchpad just gives "Oops" page when trying to add a gpg key

[LapTop006]

When I try to add my gpg key (6E63F4AA) using the short fingerprint I get invalid fingerprint, when I try the long fingerprint I just get the "Oops" page with no additional information.

My full fingerprint is:
Key fingerprint = 8915 6B1B 60F2 9A96 B5AA 4E29 F433 CB5F 6E63 F4AA

If for some reason my key is invalid for this there should be a better error message.

Aparently gpgme can't encrypt for that key, its "g" subkey is expired:

sub 1024g/64CF76AA 2002-05-11 [expires: 2003-05-11]

Julien, could you try to encrypt data to yourself locally and post the result, we may have some clue.

Yep, that failed, just added another ElGamel subkey for encryption, although I don't know why you require it, signing usually suffices (And you need a better error message for it).

"test" may be a binary file. See it anyway?
laptop006@sparc006:~$ file test
test: data

Uploaded the new and improved key to both wwwkeys.us.pgp.net and keyserver.ubuntu.com, but it still fails with the oops page.

Also if you put the keyid in it should throw an error saying you must use the complete fingerprint (much better would be getting any and all keys with that keyid and offering the user a choice)

The error I found in the error logs (but not in /errors):

Failed in opera and firefox, worked in IE for some downright freaky reason, things seemed to be caching for no apparent reason, thanks to kiko on #launchpad. (Still like to see the other things addressed)
