Bug#750467: kgpg: KGpg always lists the fingerprint of the subkey even when clicking on the main key
Package: kgpg
Version: 4:4.13.1-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
nowadays a generated GPG key has a main key and at least one subkey. When
exchanging fingerprints, one normally uses the fingerprint of the main key and
not of the subkey(s). However, KGpg does not show the fingerprint of the main
key. In the GUI only the main key can be selected (the properties of the
subkey cannot be shown). Yet, if you open the properties of the main key, the
fingerprint of the subkey is really shown (without any hint to the subkey, so
this is quite counterintuitive).
This is misleading and should be changed by either only printing the
fingerprint of the main key when viewing the main key's properties or by
additionally listing all subkeys' fingerprints.
To reproduce this, generate a key with a recent gpg version, look at
"gpg --fingerprint" and compare it with KGpg's output.
Kind regards
Patrick
