  Since I never saw an answer about the meaning of those bad signatures,
I am forwarding the question to GnuPG-Users list...

  I ran that command too, and got:

186 firmas incorrectas
(186 bad signatures)
19112 firmas no comprobadas por falta de clave
(19112 signatures not checked due to missing keys)
2 firmas no comprobadas por errores
(2 signatures not checked due to errors).

  What kind of errors could it be?

  Best Regards
