Strange line when verifying software: not human readable (32 bytes

Ok so when i verify the signatures i get:

gpg: Signature made Wed 15 Jul 2026 04:37:04 AM EEST
gpg: using RSA key 6E979B28A6F37C43BE30AFA1CB8D50BB77BB3C48
gpg: Good signature from “Patrick Schleizer adrelanos@whonix.org” [ultimate]
gpg: aka “Patrick Schleizer adrelanos@kicksecure.com” [ultimate]
gpg: aka “Patrick Schleizer adrelanos@riseup.net” [ultimate]
gpg: Signature notation: salt@notations.sequoia-pgp.org=[ not human readable (32 bytes: Ey??D???IGR???>???..) ]
gpg: Signature notation: file@name=Kicksecure-LXQt-18.2.1.9.Intel_AMD64.iso

My question is about this line:
gpg: Signature notation: salt@notations.sequoia-pgp.org=[ not human readable (32 bytes: Ey??D???IGR???>???..) ]

I have not seen it before is it something to worry about or just ignore. Everything else goes as described in the validation process.

Port to Sequoia-PGP ("sq") (GnuPG ("gpg") replacement) - OpenPGP was done but wiki documentation hasn’t been updated to sq yet.

In theory gpg and sq should be compatible but glitches (bugs) such as this exist.

Now we have to relearn gpg commands to their equivalent sq PGP. Guess the good thing is it keeps the brain sharp.

Sequoia PGP is supposed to be the answer to:
