I downloaded an Ubuntu preview ISO [1] recently along with its hash and signature, SHA256SUMS and SHA256SUMS.gpg. I expected to be able to do this:
gpg --verify SHA256SUMS.gpg gpg: no signed data gpg: can't hash datafile: No data Instead I have to do this: gpg --verify SHA256SUMS.gpg SHA256SUMS My question is why is that necessary with gpg files? I know for xxx.sig files it would strip that extension and then "gpg: assuming signed data in xxx" [1]: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/daily-live/current/ _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
