Bug#293556: Similar problems
severity 293556 important thanks * martin f krafft ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) [060811 07:03]: GPG has failed me on numerous occasions in the past week. Usually, I'd find ~/.gnupg/pubring.pgp.tmp next to a zero-sized ~/.gnupg/pubring.pgp, and the damage would be easily solved. Today it started to truncate the file: -rw--- 1 madduck madduck 3725 2006-08-11 14:53 pubring.gpg -rw--- 1 madduck madduck 0 2006-08-11 14:53 pubring.gpg~ I also have backups, and it's arguable whether the pubring is data that needs to be guarded (I'd say YES), but this is clearly not acceptable. I don't want to say everything is nice (and please feel free to continue working on this bug), but I don't think this bug is release-critical aka we need to fix it prior to release. So, setting severity back to important (aka this is an ugly bug and should be fixed).

So, setting severity back to important (aka this is an ugly bug and should be fixed). I almost agree. Even though I *have* lost data to this bug, I have not been able to work my way forward. It is a real bitch. Anyway, wouldn't it be better to leave it at grave (aka causes data loss) but tag it etch-ignore because - I don't think we'll be able to fix it in time - gnupg cannot be removed from etch ? -- .''`. martin f. krafft [EMAIL PROTECTED] : :' : proud Debian developer, author, administrator, and user `. `'` http://people.debian.org/~madduck - http://debiansystem.info `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems signature.asc Description: Digital signature (GPG/PGP)
