[Full-disclosure] Using second gpg keyring may be misleading?



There is chance someone exploits this in apt-key...

Attached is a keyring and here is the output:

$rm -rf /home/joro2/.gnupg/ ; gpg --import /usr/share/keyrings/ubuntu-master-keyring.gpg ; gpg --check-sigs --keyring /tmp/sec3
gpg: imported: 1 (RSA: 1)
gpg: no ultimately trusted keys found
/home/joro2/.gnupg/pubring.gpg
