Package: dput
Version: 0.11.0
Severity: normal

When ‘dput’ encounters an unknown result from checking a GnuPG
signature, the message is misleading.

    gpgme: ./gpick/gpick_0.2.5+git20161221-1_i386.changes: Unknown signature 
from C9F1CBF56351F719

With “Unknown signature from […]” an obvious inference would be that
the signature is unknown. This is incorrect; it is the *result from
the function call* that is unrecognised.

The message should explicitly signal that ‘dput’ did not recognise the
result.
