Newer dirmngr (currently 1.0.0) is not an immediate option, but I've  
set the debug level for dirmngr to guru. However, w/o any visible  
effect whatsoever :-(

Well, the problem I've described above, is not connected to any
message. It's  inside kleopatra. kleopatra is throwing the error
when listing all the certs. I would have expected to find the culprit
cert in the logfile, but alas...

I'll see if it helps to delete all the certs one-by-one. Maybe, I can  
track down the culprit cert.

kmail shows the yellow bars and:

Not enough information to check signature.
Status: No status information available. No Audit Log available

The guru log is here

I can't find anything related to kmail .xsession-errors.
