Package: gnupg
Version: 2.2.27-1
Severity: normal
The man page for gpg(1) states for `--no-default-keyring`:
| Note that GnuPG will not operate without any keyrings, so if you use
| this option and do not provide alternate keyrings via --keyring or
| --secret-keyring, then GnuPG will still use the default public or
| secret keyrings.
But the next option described is `--no-keyring`:
| Do not use any keyring at all. This overrides the default and all
| options which specify keyrings.
This seems to be a contradiction to the claim that GnuPG will not
operate without any keyring from the `--no-default-keyring` option.

2.4.7 docs read:
... Note that GnuPG needs for almost all operations a keyring. ...
