Package: dput Version: 0.12 Severity: normal When verifying a GnuPG-signed file, ‘dput’ can sometimes emit a confusing error:
===== […] Checking signature on .changes gpg: ../build-area/foo_1.2_source.changes: Error checking signature from F9B46AAC84420C82: SignatureVerifyError: 0 Checking signature on .dsc gpg: ../build-area/foo_1.2.dsc: Error checking signature from F9B46AAC84420C82: SignatureVerifyError: 0 […] ===== The program continues, but this message is misleading when the signature is actually valid. If there is no problem with the signature, no message like this should be emitted; if there is a problem with the signature, the message should clearly state what it is. -- \ “The history of Western science confirms the aphorism that the | `\ great menace to progress is not ignorance but the illusion of | _o__) knowledge.” —Daniel J. Boorstin, historian, 1914–2004 | Ben Finney
