Hi, first off all, please reply to the mailing-list only, don't reply to me, too. I'm subscribed to the list and receiving two mails, one with mailing-list headers and another without the headers, is asking for trouble. FWIW I'm not an experienced sq user, I'm used to gpg. In the first place I seemingly replied to your request accidentally not to the list, since you usually sent to the list and to me and I probably clicked the email without the mailing list headers.

Did you run

sq wkd get pierre@archlinux.org -release-key.pgp

instead of

sq wkd get pierre@archlinux.org -o release-key.pgp

? Yes and that's what got sq not liking wkd much was happening yesterday and at the time I wrote that message I substituted a variable for the release-key.

Ok, you likely wanted to say "no", IOW you run sq wkd get pierre@archlinux.org -o $KEY since "yes" would mean you run sq wkd get pierre@archlinux.org -$KEY what happened when you run sq wkd get pierre@archlinux.org -o $KEY ? Did stdout or stderr return "error: sq doesn't like wkd" ? It does work on my machine • rocketmouse@archlinux /tmp $ KEY=release-key.pgp • rocketmouse@archlinux /tmp $ sq wkd get pierre@archlinux.org -o $KEY • rocketmouse@archlinux /tmp $ echo $? 0 • rocketmouse@archlinux /tmp $ /bin/ls -l $KEY -rw-r--r-- 1 rocketmouse rocketmouse 18971 Sep 2 14:03 release-key.pgp Without the error message we (or at least I) cannot help.
