Package: dirmngr Version: 1.1.0-1 Severity: important
The permissions in /etc/default/dirmngr for the socket is wrong. As Werner Koch, upstream author declares in http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-devel/2011-January/025880.html : Permission for the socket should be given to all regular users on the system. This is in particular important for the forthcoming 2.1 GnuPG where dirmngr will also be used to access pgp keyservers. but of course it is already important for S/MIME usage in dirmngr versions 1.0.3-1 and 1.1.0-1. The severity is important, because users will not be able to use dirmngr which will result in S/MIME problems which they cannot directly understand. So it affect the overall usage of the package. Also see http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-devel/2011-January/025876.html for some more details and the workaround for admins. Just change DIRMNGR_SOCKET_MODE=0770 to DIRMNGR_SOCKET_MODE=0777 in /etc/default/dirmngr Thanks, Bernhard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
