I can confirm, that 'clean' worked as you said, when I first fetched the keys for the obsolete sigs. But why is it nescessary to fetch the key first? When there is a new, functional and valid signature from key 12345678 on a key, isn't it obvious from the originally 16 character keyID, that they were issued from the same key, whether I have it in my keyring or not? Couldn't gpg delete the old obsolete signatures without the signing key itself?
