Description
I installed the linux client on an Ubuntu 16.04 machine, but used a name I didn't want.
keybase version 1.0.35-20171110170110+68245d46b
I removed the device through the web interface and figured I'd log back in on the client again but use a new name. Now when I try to log in:
Your keybase username or email address: USERNAME
Please enter the Keybase passphrase for USERNAME (6+ characters):
In order to authorize this installation, keybase needs to sign this installation
with your GPG secret key SECRETKEY.
You have two options.
(1) Keybase can use GPG commands to sign the installation.
(2) Keybase can export your secret key from GPG and save it to keybase's local encrypted
keyring. This way, it can be used in 'keybase pgp sign' and 'keybase pgp decrypt'
going forward.

Research direction
The report names the Linux client, Ubuntu 16.04, and the interactive login flow but no source file or test. Start by reproducing the login after removing the device through the web interface, using the captured version and inputs. Done means the flow no longer ends with “missing paper key in login context” or the required recovery path is documented.
