▶ ERROR ImportKey error: openpgp: invalid data: entity without any identities

I have done keybase pgp select --multi --no-import and select a key. I receive the above error.

my log id: 3d9f863a4f7ed40670f9ea1c

Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure with keybase pgp select --multi --no-import and the affected key, using log id 3d9f863a4f7ed40670f9ea1c for context. Trace the PGP selection and import entry point to determine why an entity without identities is accepted, and consider the issue done when additional GPG keys import successfully without this error.
