Patch attached to cause a helpful error to be issued to the user in the
event that they should specify a keyring file via the --keyring
parameter, but should the specified keyring file not be found (for
example should the user have made a typo). From a reading of the code I
believe that no such check already exists, and current behavior is to
just blunder on, resulting in a SIGCHECK gpgv state, and thus an
unhelpful "Error executing gpgv to check Release signature" message,
combined possibly with some degree of wasted time and bandwidth through
files being redownloaded after correcting the mistake (if the existing
copies aren't reused, I haven't yet read enough of the code carefully to
know at this point, nor have I run the code - been too busy to have time).
