It would be great to have more attention paid to GPA -- i just tried testing it and i didn't get the errors reported, but i got different errors and found that i couldn't use it. I tried from a user account that doesn't have The two dialogs i saw were: ------------------------------------------------------------------ The GPGME library returned an unexpected error. The error was: Unknown option This is probably a bug in GPA. GPA will now try to recover from this error. [ Close ] ------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------ You do not have a private key yet. Do you want to generate one now (recommended) or do it later? [ Generate key now ] [ Do it later ] ------------------------------------------------------------------ This last dialog box just stays up, no matter what buttons i click. Some possible questions that might make things clearer: * Have you tested it with from a new, clean user account? * What version of gnupg2 do you have installed? * What architecture are you using? * What desktop environment are you using? * What version of libassuan? If you can figure out how to reproduce some of these problems, you might consider looking into source. I just moved the gpa debian packaging source to git. You can clone it with: git clone git://git.debian.org/pkg-gnupg/gpa.git Feel free to send patches to the list if you figure out needed fixes: git config sendemail.to [email protected] thanks for the offer of help! hopefully we can get gpa more cleaned up together. --dkg
