Thanks for your helpful reply, that seems to be exactly the command
I should use. But it seems it is suffering from the same "[GNUPG:] UNEXPECTED 0"
issue.
/usr/bin/gpgv --status-fd 2 --homedir /proc/self/fd/nonexistent --keyring key.pub data.gpg
[GNUPG:] UNEXPECTED 0
gpgv: verify signatures failed: Unexpected error
Could it be, that "--throw-keyids" at signature creation to then avoid
XKeyscore-traffic-analysis [1] is not compatible with signature verification? I
would have expected to work exactly the same way as with "--decrypt":
without a key-ID all keys are tested.
