This should resolve Debian Bug#307765. Looking at that bug, we started setting HOME to try to get pgpverify to look in the correct place for the keyring. I suspect that the current version of pgpverify now deals with this by setting the keyring location explicitly, so I suspect this is just a legacy that we could now drop. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
