Description Marius Andreiana 2006-05-15 06:59:32 UTC
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!
