Hello, unfortunately, GnuPG 2.1.20 has a bug that can lead to keyring corruptions when updating or deleting keys.
GnuPG supports two ways to store public keys. The classic one is the 'keyring' format. The new one is called a 'keybox'. Only the 'keyring' format is affected. Long-term users will likely use the keyring format. To find out whether you are using keyring or keybox, look into your .gnupg directory. If a file named 'pubring.gpg' is present, you are using the keyring format. If you are using GnuPG 2.1.20 with the keyring format, a workaround is to convert your keyring to a keybox. For this, follow: https://www.gnupg.org/faq/whats-new-in-2.1.html#keybox (Hat-tip to bmhatfield for the idea.) For more information see: https://dev.gnupg.org/T3123 Packagers, please cherry-pick the following fix: https://dev.gnupg.org/rG22739433e98be80e46fe7d01d52a9627c1aebaae Sorry for that :( Justus
