Package: gnupg
Version: 1.4.3-1
Severity: critical
Tags: security
Justification: breaks unrelated software


An exsiting file ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf that is syntactically wrong
disables the window manager from starting. The display manager and x.org
are still running. Even
$ startx /usr/bin/startfluxbox -- :1
does not start a working Fluxbox. Interestingly
$ startx /usr/bin/fluxbox -- :1
works. But it dosn't seem to be an error in /usr/bin/startfluxbox because
the same happens with /usr/bin/startkde and /usr/bin/icewm. One can also
$ startx /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm -- :1
start a plain xterm as window manager. With that one can start kde via
$ startkde
in the xterm. Then one recieves the gpg message that the file
~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf has errors. ~/.xsession-errors tells the
errornous lines in ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf.

All this occours in sarge and sid.
