[Python-apps-team] Bug#704884: alot: doesn't properly instantiate GPGProblem

[Vasudev Kamath]

Package: alot
Version: 0.3.4-1
Severity: normal
tag: patch

Dear Maintainer,

There was a bug in gpg signing part of alot which was failing when
gpg-agent is either not running or password is not present in agent
(mostly due to the improper configuration of gpg-agent). Here alot was
not properly doing error handling and was not displaying proper error
message display.

I discussed this with upstream author and he provided a fix which is
already on upstream Git but I'm attaching same patch with this mail.

Please consider applying this patch to the alot package till upstream
releases new tarball with this fix.
