Adding the same GPG key (but renewed) crashes with a 500

Summary

I renewed the expiration for my GPG key. If I try to add the new exported public key, I get a 500 error.

Steps to reproduce

  • Create a GPG key
  • Add it to your GitLab profile
  • Update the expiration of the key
  • Re-export the key and add it again, without removing the previous one

What is the current bug behavior?

500 error

What is the expected correct behavior?

An error page that says what's wrong, or a popup asking if you want to replace your current GPG key. That should be done only on matching fingerprints.
