I really don't think this is a grave bug. Enigmail works fine with gnupg 1.4.1. If you leave something as complex as thunderbird running while you upgrade the software, you are asking for trouble.
Anyway, < vorlon> of course it's grave, no software should be corrupting your data just because it's open at the time of upgrade. "complexity" is no excuse. the bug does mention that ~/.gnupg had to be removed. After the upgrade, were you unable to use gpg as well? Were you able to use enigmail after killing thunderbird and removing the lock file. Or, put differently: are we actually dealing with data corruption here? Could you please give some more information about the ~/.gnupg directory after the upgrade? Or is this all really a matter of inconvenience? Please be more verbose in your bug reports. -- .''`. martin f. krafft <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : :' : proud Debian developer, admin, user, and author `. `'` `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing a system Invalid/expired PGP subkeys?
