gpgsm: Cannot decrypt with expired certificate for CRL

Hello, everyone,

the problem reported by Jens Lechtenboerger is solved:

In this special case my patch that was added to GnuPG 2.2.2, see 
<https://dev.gnupg.org/T1644>, did not help because his keyring 
contained only the old, revoked certificate and not the new, unrevoked 
one. So my patch could not select the newer certificate.

The specific problem with multiple CA certificates with the same key in 
the "old" DFN PKI "Global" hierarchy will disappear on July 9th 23:59 
UTC because then the root certificate expires.

The general problem that GnuPG has problems handling multiple 
certificates with the same key persists (see T1644) , but fixing this 
would require a major effort for a quite rare edge case.

Best greetings
