+ Trust calculation has failed; probably due to an expired key.
+
+ @item q
+ @itemx undefined, undef
+ Not enough information for calculation.
+
+ @item n
+ @itemx never
+ Never trust this key.
+
+ @item m
+ @itemx marginal
+ Marginally trusted.
+
+ @item f
+ @itemx full
+ Fully trusted.
+
+ @item u
+ @itemx ultimate
+ Ultimately trusted.
+
+ @item r
+ @itemx revoked
+ For validity only: the key or the user ID has been revoked.
+
+ @item ?
+ @itemx err
+ The program encountered an unknown trust value.
