Kleopatra: Handle disabled keyserver when updating a certificate
Closed, ResolvedPublic
Actions

Description

How to reproduce:

  • Set OpenPGP keyserver to none in Kleopatra's config dialog.
  • Open the details of an OpenPGP certificate and click Update.

Expected result: No keyserver lookup is performed.

Actual result: No change is reported for the keyserver lookup.

That "no change" instead of an error is reported is caused by T7036: gpgme: gpgme_op_receive_keys does not return an error if keyserver lookup is disabled, but Kleopatra should just skip the keyserver lookup if the keyserver is set to none.

Instead of "The key hasn't changed." Kleopatra now displays "The update was skipped because no keyserver is configured."

what about the case that the key has a mail address? Is WKD still checked?

Sure WKD is still checked if the conditions for an update via WKD are fulfilled.

Tested with gpg4win-Beta-75++:

When keyserver is "none" you get now the message: "Update skipped because no OpenPGP keyserver is configured."
Edit:
But WKD is not checked, either in that case.
This was because the expired test certificate was imported from a file. To check for certificates with another origin than WKD in WKD you have to set the option "Query certificate directories of providers for all user IDs"
