Kleopatra: Add warning in compliance mode if gnupg version is not compliant
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

As the RNG in GnuPG 2.3 is not compliant with de-vs nearly all operations in de-vs mode lead into "Forbidden" errors.

This should be caught early and handled with a warning message from Kleopatra to avoid strange situtations where nothing really works.
