Unable to unset "verbose" option for gpg with gpgconf
Closed, InvalidPublic
Actions

Description

It seems to be unable to set "verbose" to 0 using gpgconf on gpg.
Package: gnupg2 Architecture: i386 Version: 2.0.11-0kk1

gpgconf --list-options gpg | grep verbose
verbose:4:0:Detaillierte Informationen:0:0::::1

So the FLAG is 4=lists which means that it can have several values.
The VALUE=1 so one verbose is set, which is consistent with the contents
of gpg.conf-2 that is used here.

How do I set this VALUE=0 with gpgconf?
According to the documentation this should be the following, which fails:

echo "verbose:0:0" | gpgconf --change-option gpg
gpgconf: argument for option verbose of type 0 (none) must be positive
gpgconf: fatal error (exit status 1)

The right way to delete an option is:

verbose:16:

I don't think the documentation says :0:0 anywhere, in fact it gives an example
for the "force" option that contrasts :0:1 with :16:. If you found it say
otherwise, it's a bug in the documentation.
