Bug Description

To reproduce run man gpg. This manpage is quite long but to press / to search the manpage for delsig read the line

  delsig Delete a signature. Note that it is not possible to retract a signature, once it has been send to the public (i.e. to a keyserver). In that case you better use revsig.

gpg:
  Installed: 2.2.4-1ubuntu1
  Candidate: 2.2.4-1ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 2.2.4-1ubuntu1 500

Description: Ubuntu Bionic Beaver (development branch)
Release: 18.04

I expected to read delsig Delete a signature. Note that it is not possible to retract a signature, once it has been sent to the public (i.e. to a keyserver). In that case you better use revsig.
