GPG_ERR_TOO_YOUNG Objects is too young
For example used if a file is younger than expected.
GPG_ERR_TOO_OLD Objects is too old
Used if an object is too old to be used. This is a more generic
code than GPG_ERR_ENGINE_TOO_OLD or GPG_ERR_CRL_TOO_OLD.
GPG_ERR_UNKNOWN_FLAG Unknown flag
The flag is not known.
GNUPG: - The flag part of the string given to the
option --default-new-key-algo value is not known.
GPG_ERR_INV_ORDER Invalid execution order
GNUPG: - In Dirmngr used for the libdns error code DNS_EORDER.
GPG_ERR_ALREADY_FETCHED Already fetched
GNUPG: - In Dirmngr used for the libdns error code DNS_EFETCHED.
GPG_ERR_TRY_LATER Try again later
This indicates that a server asked to try again later; thus it is
different from EAGAIN which is used by the local system. This
code is for example used instead of h_error's TRY_AGAIN.
GPG_ERR_WRONG_NAME Wrong name
NTBTLS: - Hostname does not match the certificate
GPG_ERR_NO_AUTH Not authenticated
GnuPG: - A smartcard requires authentication
GPG_ERR_BAD_AUTH Bad authentication
GnuPG: - A smartcard could not be authenticated. For example
a wrong authentication key was used with a PIV card.

GnuPG: - The keyboxd component is not running
GPG_ERR_KEYBOXD Keyboxd error
GnuPG: - Malfunction in the keyboxd
GPG_ERR_NO_SERVICE Service is not running
A component is not running. Tnis is a generic version of
GPG_ERR_NO_AGENT et al.
GPG_ERR_SERVICE Service error
An error occured in a service component. This is a generic
version of GPG_ERR_AGENT et al.
GPG_ERR_SYSTEM_BUG System bug detected
The underlying operating system misbehaved. For example it wrote
more to a buffer than the told maximum size.

GPG_ERR_DNS_NO_ANSWER Missing DNS answer packet
Used by Dirmngr for DNS errors from libdns (DNS_ENOANSWER);
GPG_ERR_DNS_CLOSED Connection closed in DNS
Used by Dirmngr for DNS errors from libdns (DNS_ECONNFIN);
GPG_ERR_DNS_VERIFY Verification failed in DNS
Used by Dirmngr for DNS errors from libdns (DNS_EVERIFY);
GPG_ERR_DNS_TIMEOUT DNS Timeout

GPG_ERR_LDAP_GENERAL LDAP General error
Catch all error for LDAP. Use when an error code could not be
mapped to a gpg-error code.
GPG_ERR_LDAP_ATTR_GENERAL LDAP General attribute error
GPG_ERR_LDAP_NAME_GENERAL LDAP General name error
GPG_ERR_LDAP_SECURITY_GENERAL LDAP General security error
GPG_ERR_LDAP_SERVICE_GENERAL LDAP General service error
GPG_ERR_LDAP_UPDATE_GENERAL LDAP General update error
GPG_ERR_LDAP_E_GENERAL LDAP Experimental error code
GPG_ERR_LDAP_X_GENERAL LDAP Private error code
GPG_ERR_LDAP_OTHER_GENERAL LDAP Other general error
The 8 GPG_ERR_LDAP_*_GENERAL error codes may be used to map ranges
of LDAP errors to one specific code. OpenLDAP uses LDAP_xxx_RANGE(n)
macros for that mapping. "Other general error" may be used similar
to "General error" for mapping of ranges. Here are macros from
OpenLDAP for reference:
#define LDAP_ATTR_ERROR(n) LDAP_RANGE((n),0x10,0x15) /* 16-21 */
#define LDAP_NAME_ERROR(n) LDAP_RANGE((n),0x20,0x24) /* 32-34,36 */
#define LDAP_SECURITY_ERROR(n) LDAP_RANGE((n),0x2F,0x32) /* 47-50 */
#define LDAP_SERVICE_ERROR(n) LDAP_RANGE((n),0x33,0x36) /* 51-54 */
#define LDAP_UPDATE_ERROR(n) LDAP_RANGE((n),0x40,0x47) /* 64-69,71 */
#define LDAP_E_ERROR(n) LDAP_RANGE((n),0x1000,0x3FFF)
#define LDAP_X_ERROR(n) LDAP_RANGE((n),0x4000,0xFFFF)
