$ gpg -v --recv-key d3498839 gpg: requesting key D3498839 from wwwkeys.us.pgp.net ... gpg: armor header: Version: 5.0 gpg: armor header: Comment: PGP Key Server 0.9.4 gpg: pub 1024R/D3498839 1997-03-15 Jan "Yenya" Kasprzak <kas@fi.muni.cz> gpg: key D3498839: unsupported public key algorithm gpg: key D3498839: skipped user ID 'Jan "Yenya" Kasprzak <kas@fi.muni.cz>' Download appears to work, doesn't look like it belongs to a Felix Karpfen, though. What algorithm did you use to generate the key? What does $ gpg --list-key d3498839 say about it?
