Hi August,

On 2024-12-23 17:59:00, you wrote to me:

 AA> gpg: next trustdb check due at 2025-12-31

 AA> What does ""next trustdb check due.." mean?

I wondered about that too. I can find this about it in the manual:

--check-trustdb

Do trust database maintenance without user interaction. From time to time the
trust database must be updated so that expired keys or signatures and the
resulting changes in the Web of Trust can be tracked. Normally, GnuPG will
calculate when this is required and do it automatically unless -
no-auto-check-trustdb is set. This command can be used to force a trust
database check at any time. The processing is identical to that of
--update-trustdb but it skips keys with a not yet defined "ownertrust".

For use with cron jobs, this command can be used together with --batch in
which case the trust database check is done only if a check is needed. To
force a run even in batch mode add the option --yes.


--auto-check-trustdb
--no-auto-check-trustdb

If GnuPG feels that its information about the Web of Trust has to be updated,
it automatically runs the --check-trustdb command internally. This may be a
time consuming process. --no-auto-check-trustdb disables this option.


Bye, Wilfred.
