It looks to me like you're mixing versions of gpg -- one is the stock
version shipping in ubuntu, and the other is some slightly-more-recent
(but not fully current) locally-built copy (the one in
/home/webkey/bin/gpg).

have you tried just installing the gpg-wks-server package directly in
ubuntu, rather than trying to build your own local copy?

this looks like your self-built copy of gpg doesn't enable the expected
compression algorithm.

can you compare the output of:

    gpg --version | grep ^Compression:

against:

    /home/webkey/bin/gpg --version | grep ^Compression:

?

that might help to understand some of what's going on at least.
