export / import exit code always 1 for my keyring
Open, NormalPublic

Description

If you look at the gpg-enable-keyboxd.bat script in gpg4win-4.2.0 you will notice that error handling for the import is commented out because for me it would always return an error code.

gpg --export | GNUPGHOME=$(mktemp -d) gpg --import || echo fail

Adding things like

--export-options backup
--import-options keep-ownertrust,bulk-import,restore

does not have an effect.

It always exited with an error code but no apparent error.
I can provide the keyring in question to anyone who wants to look into this.

There are some more surprising results like on my windows test keyring it would always report "5 new signatures" regardless of how often I ran the script ;)
