Description Joe Orton 2003-06-21 10:33:00 UTC

On one system I had to move root's $HOME away from /root after / got near full.
This appears to break up2date, which continually prompts to add the GPG key to
the keyring, and fails to add it when requested.

/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/gpgUtils.py 

has a hard-coded:

gpg_home_dir = "/root/.gnupg"

which should really be picked up from $HOME I would have thought.

Comment 1 Adrian Likins 2003-06-25 00:11:17 UTC

$HOME was often invalid in testing for various reasons (most related
to su/sudo/etc) so it was hardcoded.

Comment 2 Joe Orton 2003-06-25 07:12:42 UTC

Picking it up from getpwuid(0)->pw_dir would be a reliable method.
