gpg --check-trustdb returns data on stdout when --verbose --verbose is present?

[Neal H. Walfield]

Hi, Daniel,

I noticed that this issue didn't get any responses.  To prevent it
from getting lost, I've open a new issue on the bug tracker:

  https://bugs.gnupg.org/gnupg/issue1999

Thanks,

:) Neal
