gnupg-1.2.6-3 With a new user run gpg --gen-key Key generation ends with error: gpg: no writable public keyring found: eof Key generation failed: eof gpg: can't create `/home/user/.gnupg/random_seed': No such file or directory Solution: manually create the ~/.gnupg folder first. Please create it automatically when not found(and set the permissions go-rwx). This should work with whatever is the home used for gpg, it might be another if passed with --homedir Thanks
This should be fixed in the recently-released erratum. If you find that this is not the case, please reopen this bug. Thanks! *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 142206 ***
