Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: evolution
Ubuntu 8.04
Evolution 2.22.3.1
What happens
* I get a gpg signed message from someone whose public key is not in my keyring.
* Evolution says "Signature exists, but need public key". When I click on the
wax seal icon I get more information as below:
gpg: WARNING: unsafe enclosing directory permissions on configuration file
`/home/duncan/.gnupg/gpg.conf'
gpg: armor header: Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux)
gpg: Signature made 2007-10-31T23:19:27 CET using DSA key ID 8AB6137F
gpg: Can't check signature: public key not found
* This information is either wrong or something is broken. The public
key is on at least one of the listed key servers in Seahorse and
Seahorse is set to automatically retrieve remote keys.
What I expected
* I get a gpg signed message from someone whose public key is not in my keyring.
* Evolution either
* Retrieves the public from a key server and announces that the mess* age is
signed correctly
or
* Tries to retrieve the public key, but something goes wrong, it tells me
what has gone wrong ('Seahorse is not configured to automatically retrieve
remote public keys. Please adjust your settings' or 'Seahorse reports that the
remote public key is not found on the listed key servers')
In either case the current wording of the message is not useful, 'public
key not found' does not help me solve the cause of the problem. did
evolution try to find it? did seahorse tyr and fail? why was it not
found?
