Package: gnupg2 Version: 2.1.11-7 Severity: minor I imported two keys using `gpg --recv-keys 0x... 0x...` (this is gpg2 here) this morning. After reporting that both keys had been retrieved successfully, gpg decided to spend some minutes doing something: I think checking the trustdb.
However there was no indication that gpg was supposed to still be doing anything. It would be nice if there was an informational message on the terminal for long-term operations: at least a note that this might take a while, ideally some sort of progress indication.
