no way :( You have to wait until the key expires... -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands, e-mail: suse-security-help@suse.com Security-related bug reports go to security@suse.de, not here

Hope you still have the privat key... i lost mine too, lucky me it will expire this year ... hardcopy of the revocation cert is the only one what helps ...

If you are really sure that the key isn't compromised, just delete all copies of the secret key and imagine that someone just created accidentially with your name. It just don't matters what kind of missinformation on keyservers reside. I can create a key with your name, and everybody can, some people happily sign such keys when requested by mail ("... to make this work go on edit, trust, yes, yes, ok and sent it back to me..."), so I would just ignore it - as long as the key isn't compromised, it just don't matter if noone has a key to decrypt :)
