It seems to. It is counterintuitive and undocumented. This is a bug in
the code.
In fact, the documentation states that a 'keyring' line in the config file
_adds_ that kr to the list -- and that's not really true for the first.
The personal keyring is implied, but ignored if there are any keyring
lines, but none mentioning the personal keyring. This is a bug in the
documentation.
Anyone here develop gnupg upstream?
