Bug 56505 – gpg references /var/tmp/portage/gnupg-X/image/

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Luke-Jr 2004-07-08 19:14:41 UTC]

Without gpa, the --enable-external-hkp option breaks gpg's hkp support. There should be a USE flag to enable that option and DEPEND gpa.

[Comment 1 Luke-Jr 2004-07-08 19:39:57 UTC]

Correction: this is because GPG is looking for plugins in its temporary directory...
from strace:
[pid   576] execve("/var/tmp/portage/gnupg-1.2.4/image//usr/lib/gnupg/gpgkeys_hkp", ["gpgkeys_hkp"], [/* 57 vars */]) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

Luke, is this a gpa problem, or something I need to fix (i maintain gpg)?

I'm not sure how this would happen with gpg, but I dont know gpa at all.

$ strace -f -eexecve gpg --quiet --recv-keys 0xDEADBEEF
execve("/usr/bin/gpg", ["gpg", "--quiet", "--recv-keys", "0xDEADBEEF"], [/* 99 vars */]) = 0
gpg: WARNING: using insecure memory!
