I think the comments by Jimbo and Dominic above are probably a different bug (possibly bug #321287) which then would need to be written up separately.
Note: looking at the gpg documentation, my guess is that http://www.gnupg.org/gph/en/manual.html#AEN26 gives "General error" for several different error conditions and cannot therefor be used to identify exactly what the underlying problem is. -- Seahorse won't generate a key when .gnupg directory owned by root, only gives unhelpful "General error" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/321287 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
