   I think this report is invalid, because I'm assuming the keyring generated   
   is in the non-portable GnuPG specific KeyBox format. GnuPG should have   
   mentioned this during the generation of the keyring, otherwise can be   
   confirmed with file(1).   
      
   The correct options are to either download the keyring with wget/curl,   
   or to download it with gpg, and then --export it into a proper OpenPGP   
   formatted keyring.

   I don't think this is a regression, as the usage seems invalid to me.   
      
   Thanks,
