Because of more inadequacies in gpg, -you can't specify a uid to revoke from the command line. The uid -revokation requires an edit-key script, which we have used before, but -you have to specify by "number" which uid to revoke.

Suggestions are most welcome. It may just require -some trial and error with edit-key to come up with something workable. - -This underlines the problem that gpg sucks ass as a tool for -manipulating gpg keyrings non-interactively.
