Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: seahorse
"seahorse-tool --verify" only checks .sig files and not .gpg files for
signatures, then gives the email address and name of the signer, but not
the key ID (which, it seems to me, is the point of verification).
When I attempt to check a .gpg file, I get the error "No valid
signatures found". When I attempt to "decrypt" signed gpg files,
seahorse-tool gives the error message "Couldn't decrypt file . . . No
data" (although it quietly proceeds to unzip the file). Decrypting
doesn't give any messages about who signed the file.
It should do the same as "gpg --verify": it should verify both .sig and
.gpg files and give full results of verification, including the key ID.
I'm not sure what the point of signing files is if you never see the ID
of who signed it.

"seahorse-tool --verify" should work like "gpg --verify"
