Sorry, I forgot to mention it. You need to add -v to the command line.
Which pinentry are you using in in what mode? Please do a sign operation and watch out for a line similar to:
Do you have any test cases? Note that T3966 is due to missing support for SHA-256.
Can you please give more details and tell whether this is powerpc specific.
We only supported SHA-1 signed OCSP requests. Fix will go into 2.2.16.

I doubt that we are going to implement this.
Thanks to your very good analysis, this was easy to fix.
See the man page on how to delete subkeys or just the primary secret key with --delete-key.

No sorry, we won't do that for the regular source. However, the full source for the binary installer is xz compressed. That is because we are legally required to publish the source but in reality the source ist not used and weel, to build you have lots of other requirements with xz being the simplest one.

I guess we can do that. Thanks for the hint.
Interesting tinge: The main CRL of the dgn.de CA uses a nextUpdate in the year 2034 (15 years in the future) which would force dirmngr to cache the CRL until then. However, the CRL of the intermediate certificate has a nextUpdate only one month in the future. There is currently no entry in that second level CRL, so their idea might be that an updated second level CRL will also trigger a reload of the main CRL. I have not checked how we implement that in Dirmngr but I doubt that such a thing will work for us and that it is in any way standard compliant.

I explained why the keyserver access requires access to the DNS. If that is not possible the keyserver code will not work. If you don't allow DNS to work you either have to use Tor (which we use to also tunnel DNS requests) or get your keys from elsewhere. Also note that the keyserver network is current several broken and under DoS and thus it is unlikely that it can be operated in the future.

You need to update the public key and convey it to the sender. This will solve the problems. You should also ask the sender to update their software so that an MDC is always used regardless of the flag.
Actually I have a different approach to fix this bug(let). Please give me a few days.

Do you know which software the sender uses for encryption? That software may simply ignore the preferences or the sender also encrypts to a legacy key using a software which does not force the use of an MDC. Sometimes keys are generated with gpg but used with other software - without updating the preferences of the keys.
I don't see why the documentation needs to be fixed. gcry_sexp_canon_len returns 0 for certain and s-expressions, meaning tha the s-expression is not valid. After all the s-expression code in libgcrypt does not claim to be a general purpose parser for s-expression but is targeted towards Libgcrypt needs.
Thanks. Fixed in master and 2.2.
Also fixed for 2.2
The behaviour related to ssh key access is due to the way ssh works: After a connection has been established to a server ssh presents to to the server all identities (public keys) it has access to (meaning it has a corresponding private key). Thus we can't tell ssh all the keys we have because that would be an information leak and may also take too long. Because the user may in some cases not want to use the ssh-agent but resort to ssh command line input of the passphrase, we do not insist on using a key known by gpg-agent.
Perl would be okay for maintainer mode but not for regular builds. The reason is that perl is already used by autotools but a build shall still be possible w/o perl.

That is on purpose. Exporting of a secret key should in theory not be possible at all via gpg. In practice we need a way to export a key, but that should be the exception and thus we do not want any caches for passphrases to have an effect.

FWIW, I disabled @aa7356 because he again started to troll.

Sorry, I can't parse that. For development question please use gnupg-devel at gnupg.org.
Fix will go into 2.2.16 to be release this month.
At the time the verification is done some output has already been written to the file 'signed'. When checking whether the deprecated abbreviated format
There will be no full solution for this. However, the next release should in general work due to a 400ms delay we use after spawning the viewer. This is configurable; see rG7e5847da0f3d715cb59d05adcd9107b460b6411b.
