Package: gnupg
Version: 1.4.6-1
Severity: normal

Hello,

today on a fresh etch install I got this when running gpg for the first
time, but I can confirm this also on a sid system, both for root and
non-root users:

  bajor:~# gpg --recv-keys 7EF7FFF4276981F4
  gpg: directory `/root/.gnupg' created
  gpg: can't open `/gnupg/options.skel': No such file or directory
  gpg: keyring `/root/.gnupg/secring.gpg' created
  gpg: keyring `/root/.gnupg/pubring.gpg' created
  gpg: no keyserver known (use option --keyserver)
  gpg: keyserver receive failed: bad URI
  bajor:~# 

Line 2 of the status messages is the intersting one, for some reason the
options skeleton file is not found/copied, which would be very helpful
especially for new users of gnupg.

  cp /usr/share/gnupg/options.skel ~/.gnupg/options

obviously does the same, but I still think this is a bug, especially
since this worked in the past.

Kind regards
Wolfgang Karall
