Description

I just updated both my pgp keys using keybase pgp update —all on HomePC and one of the notifications said WorkPC...

On the chain page for my account, it says HomePC for both events though...

Seems like a bug?

Research direction

Reproduce the report by running keybase pgp update --all on HomePC and compare the resulting notification with the account's chain page. Trace how the device name is recorded for each update and displayed on the chain page; done means both views identify the device that performed the update consistently.
