Quoting Jaka Kranjc <lynx AT mages.ath.cx>:
I agree, but I just wanted to hear some more opinions first.

I ran this on test and committed the result:
find -name "*.gpg" |
while read kr; do
gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring $kr --refresh-keys;
gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring $kr --list-keys |
grep -o "/[^ ]*" | cut -d/ -f2 |
xargs -I I -- gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring $kr --edit-key I clean
save;
done

It refreshed all the keys in all the keyrings then cleaned them up (removed
unusable signatures and more). Crosscertification was done automatically it
seems, that code alone fixed findutils. I didn't check any of the others.

If nothing is wrong, I'll run it over other grimoires once I get back home.

LP; Happy Holidays!

It seems you need the secret key to cross-certify GPG keys, we can't go and clean up others'.

For Bug #14212[0] (ghostscript-fonts-{std,other} failing GPG check) I tried to cross-certify the key used, but ran into the following:

# gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring ./gurus.gpg --edit-key 1C3593C7

Command> cross-certify
Need the secret key to do this.

Shall we verify (non-strict) the tarball still matches the GPG and then re-sign with a cross-certified key?
