Description: Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS
Release: 14.04
Codename: trusty
I was recently trying to compare the fingerprint of a key I downloaded
to its online stated value. I thought I should be able to accomplish
my goal with "gpg --fingerprint public-key-file.asc". Gpg returned
"gpg: error reading key: No public key"
So I did a search and found --with-fingerprint. Worked as I hoped it
would.
According to gpg(1) and gpg2(1) - "--with-fingerprint
Same as the command --fingerprint but changes only the
format of the output and may be used together with another command."
So is this a bug in gpg or a bug in the man page or am I missing
something so trivial and obvious that I will smack myself in the
forehead when someone points it out to me?
I understand dev cycles are being focused primarily(?) on the 2.1
branch but I figured this might be worth mentioning. I confess, I
haven't checked the archives to see if it already has been.
Best Regards,
Duane
