[Popcon-developers] Bug#714918: will silently not encrypt submissions if gpg is not available

[Ansgar Burchardt]

Package: popularity-contest
Version: 1.58
Severity: normal

>From /etc/cron.daily/popularity-contest:

  if [ "$ENCRYPT" = "yes" ] && [ -x "$GPG" ]; then

This will make popcon silently not encrypt submissions should gpg not be
available. That's fine if you asked popcon to encrypt submissions if possible
(ENCRYPT=maybe?), but it should probably fail with an error if encryption is
required explicitly (ENCRYPT=yes) and doing so is not possible for some reason.
