Description Martin Dummer 2013-10-19 12:44:43 UTC

When trying to create a gnupg-encrypted backup repository, it fails when app-crypt/gnupg-2.0.22 is on the system.

After downgrading gnupg to version app-crypt/gnupg-2.0.20 all works fine.

I report this bug to keep it as a known issue, it should be fixed upstream. 

Maybe it is advisible to place a post-install-warning for the user in the ebuild when a known-to-not-working gnupg version is on the system.

As discussed with Martin this must be due to some api change in gnupg and must be fixed upstream.
