When there are multiple active keys, get_best_pubkey_byname may not work correctly as expected.
I have two active keys on tokens, and I recently begin to use new machine.
I import my new key at first, and then, import old key. I configure trust settings.
In this situation, old key is selected, but apparently get_best_pubkey_byname should return new key.

If we can assume ret_keyblock != NULL (it is, in current implementation), it can be as simple as:

I believe that constraint of ret_keyblock != NULL is OK.
Pushing the fix.
Perhaps, backport to 2.2 should be done, too.
There are some problems with the definition of --locate-key. Further discussion required.
I found more wrong cases of get_best_pubkey_byname.
For ranking results,
(1) It may return non-encryption primary key as the most relevant key, when its validity is higher.
(2) It may not select encryption primary key even if its creation time is newer.
Those two cases are fixed in rG286d4c607574: gpg: Fix two other cases in get_best_pubkey_byname..
I think that we should apply further change:

But, tests/openpgp/key-selection.scm assumes that --locate-key may return non-encryption key and expired key.
Let me clarify the point.
PROBLEM:
Key which is shown by gpg --locate-key someone should be used when `gpg -r someone -e'. Currently, the key by --locate-key may not be used (because no encryption capability/subkey is available) and fails, which is confusing.
Or... it could be a feature, not bug, so that failure of -e -r someone can be examined by --locate-keys someone.
pubkey_cmp should be symmetric (pubkey_cmp(A,B) == - pubkey_cmp(B,A)), but it was not.
