I certainly thought I had, as I am able to connect to remote servers - but clearly that seems to be irrelevant here.
I have spent some time looking for a step by step guide on how to use gpg to verify downloaded software. I confess that I did not realise I needed to set up a local keyserver.
I have a $HOME/.gnupg which was created yesterday with mainly new files created but one old empty directory private-keys-v1.d
The command ~$ gpg --list-keys produced 3 uid from Colomban Wendling, all expired.
The command ~$ gpg --list-sigs again produced 3 items for Colomban Wendling all expired with dates set to 2015-03-12.
I can of course supply full details if that is of interest.
What I would really appreciate is some direction where to look to find a simple guide to configuring my gpg to verify files from Geany.

I'm not a gpg expert, but have you got your keyserver set up right?

I am planning on building Geany 1.36 following my upgrade to Debian buster. I have downloaded the source file tarballs fron geany.org and plugins.geany.org.
The instruction for importing the geany-plugins key produced: ~$ gpg --recv-keys B507ACD04BA283C9 gpg: keybox '/home/geoff/.gnupg/pubring.kbx' created gpg: key B507ACD04BA283C9: new key but contains no user ID - skipped gpg: Total number processed: 1 gpg: w/o user IDs: 1
Importing the key for geany gave a similar result: ~$ gpg --import < colombanw-pubkey.txt gpg: key 24CCD8550E5D1CAE: 3 signatures not checked due to missing keys gpg: /home/geoff/.gnupg/trustdb.gpg: trustdb created gpg: key 24CCD8550E5D1CAE: public key "Colomban Wendling ban@ban.netlib.re" imported gpg: Total number processed: 1 gpg: imported: 1 gpg: no ultimately trusted keys found
In the light of the above messages, I did not try the gpg --verify command.
What should I do to proceed?
