2 signatures not checked due to missing keys
That was the output I received, which certainly makes me wonder.
Here is how you can obtain it for yourself, if you choose to be equally
confused. :)
[Step zero: perhaps back up ~/.gnupg/* before testing this.]
First, find a keyid that you know is on your ring but which has not
been touched in any way by you (such as one recently imported via mutt
to check a message signature.)
Then,
$ gpg --edit-key {that keyid}
Then, lsign it (which you can undo later if you choose, or simply pick a
key that you do want to lsign.)
Then, type check.
The key in question had a preexisting signature (which perhaps was
actually from an unavailable key) and the second signature was the one
I just applied. Yes, my very own default signing key, which had just
been found (and used), apparently could no longer be found.
Bug? "Operator error"? Reproducible on other systems?
