@bernhard yeah thank you. both versions had issues(( and send two requests to RU and EN comunity . No answer for two days already
The log clearlys says certificate is expired(( but it is not at least for keyserver... May be it is reffering to gpg key... I dont know... but it is not expired either. Probably I am missing something. Will try to contact community again.

bernhard added a comment to T5639: dirmngr uses the wrong Let's encrypt chain.

@alexnadtoka When using Gpg4win-4.0.0 or 3.3.16 with an updated GnuPG the validation of dirmngr works fine with the Let's encrypt certificates again. If you have one of these versions, and you still have problems, you need to be more specific about which connection you are referring to.
Maybe it is best to ask on one of community channels (e.g. the gnupg-users mailinglist, see https://gnupg.org/documentation/mailing-lists.html )

werner added a comment to T5751: Please remove pgp.surf.nl from default dirmngr config.

The problem is just that there are not that much keyservers left and thus I added those running by large organisations. I really don't want to overload your servers. I would also trust nlnet more than canoncial which is why I started with them.
Its all a mess. Maybe no keyserver should be the default.

ikloecker changed the status of T5713: Kleopatra: PKCS#12 Import no Error on bad passphrase from Open to Testing.

(q)gpgme now tries to detect a failed import caused by a bad passphrase and emits a bad passphrase error in this case. Kleopatra then shows a "Bad passphrase" error instead of an "Invalid object" error.

ikloecker added a comment to T5725: Kleopatra: Certificate lookup shows only one result even if there are 100s matches.

We decided to notify the user if the keyserver doesn't return fingerprints. The fingerprints are needed by Kleopatra as unique identifier for keys. Trying to make key lookup work without fingerprints isn't useful.
