[Pkg-gnupg-maint] Bug#634930: gpa: GPA unusable due to "General Assuan error"

[andrei raevsky]

Package: gpa
Version: 0.9.0-1
Severity: normal

When started GPA gives the following sequence of errors:

        GnuPG is rebuilding the trust database.
        This might take a few seconds.

and

        GPA Error
        The GPGME library returned an unexpected error.  The error was:
        General Assuan error
        This is probably a bug in GPA
        GPA will now try to recover from this error

I also was unable to generate keys due to the same error messages appearing
every time

FYI - I found the following here:

        Problem has been solved by installing older version of GPA (GNU Privacy
Assistent) from Ubuntu repository (in Debian).

thanks!
