gpg: WARNING: "--no-show-photos" is a deprecated option
gpg: please use "--list-options no-show-photos" instead

Hi, thanks for reporting this.
Could you check what is the first version of gpg which accept the new format?
If it is too recent an addition, we need to handle the backward compatibility with a version check at runtime...

The current format was introduced in 1.3.3 (late-2003)[0]:
- New --list-options option. This option takes a list of
arguments that allows the user to customize exactly what key
listings (including the --edit-key listing) look like, enabling
or disabling things such as photo display, policy URL, preferred
keyserver URL, or notation display, long or short keyIDs,
calculated validity for each user ID, etc. See the manual for
the complete list of list-options.
It appears the old version became fully depreciated somewhere around 1.4.3 (mid-2006) [1].
I'm not aware of any sane distributions that still support that version. For example, Debian 6 shipped with version 1.4.12 [2] and LTS for that ended in 2016[3].

Thank you very much for the detailed references, and sorry for the delay on my side. Terribly busy week is now behind me.
