Package: gnupg Version: 2.2.20-1 Severity: normal Tags: upstream Hi,
gpg --check-sigs seems to trust digest algs depending on what digest
algs were trusted when the key was imported:
I have `weak-digest SHA1` and `weak-digest RIPEMD160` in my gpg.conf
and observed this behavior:
First, importing the key with weak digests allowed:

| Delete this key from the keyring? (y/N) y

All signatures are fine. Now try again without the --allow-weak-*
options:
+---
| $ gpg --import /tmp/dada.asc

+---
The same `--check-sigs` command now fails!
`--check-sigs` is documented as "Same as --list-keys, but the key
signatures are verified and listed too", so is supposed to *verify*
the signature. This should use whatever digest algs are currently
regarded as trustworthy, not what was trustworthy some time ago.
The also says "key signatures are verified", so it shouldn't report on
some possible verification results from the past.
I've attached the key block used for this ("dada.asc").
