[Bug 1400607] [NEW] adding a name to a PGP key causes "General error"

 

Public bug reported:

Adding the user `Karl-Philipp Richter` with E-Mail `...@posteo.de`
causes an error message `Couldn't add user id` with only content
`General error`. Unfortunately such error message (why ever someone ever
put it in the code) don't allow any further investigation of the
problem. I'd suggest a code review of when this message occurs.
Important to stress is that such a message should NEVER be displayed.
Every error has a cause which MUST be revealed to the user.
