[pkg-gnupg-maint] Bug#863557: gpg: Prints message on stderr about primary-keyring file existence

[Phil Morrell]

Package: gnupg
Version: 2.1.18-8~deb9u1
Followup-For: Bug #863557



Hi Guillem,

I believe this is a documentation bug, you simply need to add
`no-default-keyring` before `primary-keyring`.

I discovered this report whilst trying to separate automatically
retrieved keys from my manual keyring. Essentially, `primary-keyring`
doesn't just "designate" the primary, it appends to the keyrings list.

    keyring ~/.gnupg/public-keys/auto.kbx
    ...
    primary-keyring ~/.gnupg/public-keys/auto.kbx

This is also not specific to the `primary-keyring` option, listing the
same keyring entry twice either via gpg.conf or cli options shows the
same unhelpful message. So a minimally reproducable test for this is:

    gpg --keyring pubring.kbx --list-keys
