Description of problem:

When trying to encrypt, decrypt or sign a document with seahorse-tool, it stops and shows the following errors:

Running seahorse-tool -e results in the error:
** (seahorse-tool:13862): CRITICAL **: prompt_recipients: assertion `GPG_IS_OK (gerr)' failed

Running seahorse-tool -s results in the error:
** (seahorse-tool:13865): CRITICAL **: prompt_signer: assertion `GPG_IS_OK (gerr)' failed

Running seahorse-tool -d results in the error:
** (seahorse-tool:13867): CRITICAL **: seahorse_pgp_operation_init: assertion `GPG_IS_OK (err)' failed
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
(seahorse-tool:13869): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_main_quit: assertion `main_loops != NULL' failed

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

seahorse-plugins-2.30.1-4.fc14.i686

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. $> touch myfile
2. $> seahorse-tool -e myfile
3. $> Select any key to encrypt myfile
  
Actual results:

It crashes with the following error:
** (seahorse-tool:13862): CRITICAL **: prompt_recipients: assertion `GPG_IS_OK (gerr)' failed

Expected results:
After selecting the key, the "myfile" should have been encrypted.

Additional info:

This bug has already been reported multiple times in the bugzilla of Gnome, and even by Ubuntu launchpad:
 - https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=607423
 - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/seahorse-plugins/+bug/514950

Sebastien Bacher did submit a patch that has been accepted on both sides.

I just tested this patch on the current srpm of seahorse-plugins, and it successfully corrects the reported error.

What's the next step ?

Fedora has no official testing AFAIK, only volunteers. It's a community project. Buy an enterprise distribution if you want all software well tested.
