That key uses a feature (called DSA2) that didn't exist in version 1.2.6 of GnuPG. > Unfortunately, I cannot upgrade Linux on Server 1.

Go to http://www.gnupg.org/download/ and grab the latest 1.4 version of GnuPG (at the moment, it's 1.4.13). That is the easiest replacement for 1.2.6, and will handle that DSA2 key just fine.
