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

[davemas at Safe-mail.net]

I have this bug now for over an year and it is not possible to fix it. I tried everything. Even other OS. The only solution which helps is to use a very old verssion of GPA but I don't like this solution at all. I want to use the newest version.

I have found out that this bug happens not only on Debian, The same happens on FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE. So it is for sure not a Debian bug or gpa bug.

I am 100% sure this bug has something to do with GNOME. Because the newest gpa version works on XFCE without any problems.

This bug happens with Gnome 2 and Gnome 3, On Debian Testing and Debian Sid and on FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE.

I hope the GNOME developers will do something ... gpa is unusable for over an year now. This is really a shame.
