# `spurious-fields-in-upstream-signature`

The packaging includes a detached upstream signature file that contains spurious fields like `Comment:` or `Version:`. They are sometimes added by `gpg --enarmor`, especially if you have an older version. Modern versions only add a `Comment:` field.

Please generate the signature with `gpg --armor --detach-sig` using a modern version instead.

Severity: | `info`
Experimental: | `false`
