Description

Using the command line client on:
Linux linux-thym.suse 4.1.15-8-default #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Jan 20 16:41:00 UTC 2016 (0e3b3ab) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

keybase version
Client: 1.0.15
Service: 1.0.15

Sending a message to contacts I track and also they're tacking me:
keybase pgp encrypt -m "test test test" the_user_name
▶ ERROR openpgp: invalid argument: cannot encrypt because recipient set shares no common algorithms

I also did the keybase pgp pull

Research direction

Start at the keybase pgp encrypt command entry point and reproduce the failure with the command and client version shown. Trace the recipient algorithm negotiation to identify why no common algorithms are found; done means encryption succeeds for the reported tracked contacts without this error.
