Description

Removed key from my keybase account using web UI.

Attempting to remove tracked users without a key fails.

```
discord:~ litui$ keybase untrack chris
error: You don't have a registered remote key! Try `keybase push`
```

Generated a new key via the web UI and pulled it with the commandline:

```
discord:~ litui$ keybase pull
Your keybase login passphrase (to pull your private key from the server): XXXXX
- run scrypt [==================================] 100%
discord:~ litui$ keybase untrack chris
error: You're not tracking 'chris'
```

Clearly still tracking Chris according to the web UI https://keybase.io/litui

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported `keybase untrack chris` and `keybase pull` commands, then compare the command-line tracking state with the web UI shown at the linked profile. Done means tracked users can be removed after key removal and the CLI and web UI report the same state.
