I'm not sure whether it's worth to fix this: gpg's output without
--with-colons is designed to be human-readable, not machine-parseable.
Furthermore there is no guaranty that the format won't change across
versions (as you just pointed out :-P).  Passing the ‘--keyid-format’
option with a value other than ‘none’ will make sig2dot work again with
2.1.15.  But I think on the long run the proper fix would be to rewrite
sig2dot to make it read the colon-separated input produced by ‘gpg
--with-colons’.

Cheers,
