Bug Description

Binary package hint: seahorse

The "Create new key" dialog wrongly lists "PGP key" among possible choices.

This should be "OpenPGP key" as it refers to the type of key, not the commercial application.

I understand the historic reason, however this needs to be updated.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. I agree that it makes more sense to refer to the type of key being created, which on Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid) says "PGP key". I will mark this bug Confirmed.
