LM 22.2 Cinnamon ISO failed Verification with misleading errror message #137

Description

@Grysu-Feuermelder

The tool shows an error message which might be misleading for unexperienced users:

mint-iso-verify linuxmint-22.2-cinnamon-64bit.iso
Checking /home/[user]/Downloads/linuxmint-22.2-cinnamon-64bit.iso

(GUI:)
unknown signature

signed by: 27DEB15644C6B3CF3BD7D291300F846BA25BAE09

Reason is ONLY the missing Linux Mint signing key which must be re-imported
gpg --keyserver hkp://keys.openpgp.org:80 --recv-key 27DEB15644C6B3CF3BD7D291300F846BA25BAE09

For the default mint-iso-verify tool it seems a little strange that just its very own signing key is marked only as "unknown signature" and "key not found on key server" without any further explaination.

This type of error message didn't pop up in previous releases (?)
