Description

 To remove this PGP key, you must sign a statement using a device key.

# from the command line
keybase revoke '....'

# if you want to confirm this key's id first, this
# will list your keys
keybase status

But

dustin@hopper ~ $ keybase revoke '...'
No help topic for 'revoke'

I think (hope?) the correct command is keybase pgp drop.

Research direction

Start by checking the documented keybase revoke command and comparing it with the reported keybase pgp drop command. Done means the instructions name a valid command for removing a PGP key and no longer produce the reported help-topic error.
