This doesn't appear worth shipping a patch for downstream either, so I
am going to unsubscribe Ubuntu Sponsors and mark it Won't fix.

Bug description:
[Impact]
* The directory ~/.hplip/.gnupg is readable by non-root users
* This directory contains only public keys, but should still
have the permissions changed to 700 for privacy reasons
[Test Case]
* Install hplip and run `hp-plugin -i`
* ls -al ~/.hplip and observe that ~/.hplip/.gnupg has perms drwxr-xr-x
* rm -rf ~/.hplip and install hplip from -proposed
* run `hp-plugin -i` again
* ls -al ~/.hplip and observe that ~/.hplip/.gnupg has perms drwx------
[Regression Potential]
* Because of file permissions becoming more restrictive,
it is possible that some other hplip binaries would
fail to read the .gnupg directory
* To ensure this isn't the case, testing should be done
on different hplip use-cases to ensure they still
function properly
[Original Description]
Hi,
we have a report in Fedora -
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1985251 - where Sergey
found out that ~/.hplip/.gnupg directory has permissions 755 instead
of 700. Perms 700 prevent accessing the dir by other users, because
the dir can contain private keys.
However, .gnupg dir contains only a public key used in GPG
verification of HP plugin, so the matter isn't that critical, but it
is good to have it fixed.
The patch is attached.
