Kleopatra: Wrong message "no certificate found"
Open, LowPublic
Actions

Description

When checking a signature where the pubkey is not available, you can try to search for the key by fingerprint by clicking on the link. But when no keyserver is configured (which is the default now in 5.0.1) you get "no certificate found":

This is misleading, as no search was done. Please remove the text.

When you search via "Lookup on server" the result message is not shown.

Maybe we could show instead the text "No keyserver is configured."? Need not be in the same place. This would also be helpful in the other case, where you go to the search via "Lookup on Server". Showing which keyservers are configured would be nice too, of course.
