This is only useful when you're listing a specific key or set of keys. It has no effect when listing all keys. --keyring file Add file to the list of keyrings. If file begins with a tilde and a slash, these are replaced by the HOME directory.If the filename does not contain a slash, it is assumed to be in the GnuPG home directory ("~/.gnupg" if --homedir is not used). The filename may be prefixed with a scheme: "gnupg-ring:" is the default one. It might make sense to use it together with --no-default-keyring. Make sure there is not file path mangling/confusion. Maybe try using gpa or kgpg from the ports. I did not try anything like that. That's all I can think of. Regards, Alin.
