[Pkg-gnupg-maint] Bug#611802: --quiet is not (at least not with --refresh-keys)

[martin f krafft]

Package: gnupg
Version: 1.4.10-4
Severity: minor

The manpage says

       -q, --quiet
              Try to be as quiet as possible.

When used with --refresh-keys, it doesn't try very much:

  % gpg --refresh-keys --quiet                                                                                                                          #1,9537
  gpg: refreshing 3593 keys from x-hkp://pool.sks-keyservers.net
  gpg: requesting key 330C4A75 from hkp server pool.sks-keyservers.net
  […]
  gpg: WARNING: digest algorithm MD5 is deprecated
  gpg: please see http://www.gnupg.org/faq/weak-digest-algos.html for more information
  […]
  gpgkeys: key FCB7D08D587F5AC930D352BB52B62892F473C43B not found on keyserver
  […]

It does seem to filter the actual updates though, e.g.

  gpg: key 330C4A75: "Martin F. Krafft <mail at martin-krafft.net>" not changed
  gpg: key 52B7487E: "Steinar H. Gunderson <sgunderson at bigfoot.com>" 1 new signature
  gpg: 200 keys processed so far
