incorrect verification results for signatures using a public key which has been revoked

Reported by steve | March 9th, 2020 @ 06:36 PM | in 2.0 (closed)

Reproduce

  1. sign some text with a new test key
  2. revoke test key
  3. verifiy signed text

Currently

Verification failed
Unexpected GPG signature status 94

Expected

Verification Results should indeed verify the signature as long as the public key required for that is available. The user should then be informed, that the public key has been revoked.

Suggested message:
EN

Verification successful


Good signature (Trust level): "Name <email@domain.org>"


WARNING: This key has been revoked by its owner! This could mean that the signature is forged.

DE

Verifizierung erfolgreich


Gute signature (Trust level): "Name <email@domain.org>"


WARNUNG: Dieser Schlüssel wurde von seinem Besitzer widerrufen! Das könnte bedeuten, dass die Signatur gefälscht ist.

This would align with gpg CLI output:

en
