EDIT: Originally I thought it was just on new keyrings, so this bug was originally around creating keyrings, but I was mistaken>
This:
```
gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring /tmp/test.gpg --recv-key $keyid
```
Used to create a new keybox (`/tmp/test.gpg`) and import $keyid from the keyserver. Now it creates an empty keybox and does nothing with it:
```
$ gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring /tmp/test.gpg --recv-key $keyid
gpg: keybox '/tmp/test.gpg' created
gpg: key XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX: no user ID
gpg: Total number processed: 1
$ gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring /tmp/test.gpg --fingerprint
$
```
Importing from a local file does, however still work.
It turns out that even if a keyring *exists* and has keys on it, it still doesn't do anything:
```
$ gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring /tmp/test.gpg --fingerprint DA94104883842826
gpg: error reading key: No public key
$ gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring /tmp/test.gpg --recv-key DA94104883842826
gpg: key DA94104883842826: no user ID
gpg: Total number processed: 1
$ gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring /tmp/test.gpg --fingerprint DA94104883842826
gpg: error reading key: No public key
```
This is problematic when trying to create, say, a new keyring for a keysigning party.
