Bug 396307 – mail-filter/spamassassin-3.3.1-r4 sa-update tool does not create sa-update-keys directory

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Olliver Schinagl 2011-12-28 14:33:35 UTC]

When running sa-update it complains about not being able to write it's key files:

7of9 spamassassin # sa-update --import GPG.KEY
gpg: keyblock resource `/etc/mail/spamassassin/sa-update-keys/secring.gpg': No such file or directory
gpg: keyblock resource `/etc/mail/spamassassin/sa-update-keys/pubring.gpg': No such file or directory
gpg: no writable keyring found: Unknown system error
gpg: error reading `GPG.KEY': General error
gpg: import from `GPG.KEY' failed: General error

Creating the directory /etc/mail/spamassassin/sa-update-keys fixes that, and chmod 700 also removes a warning.
gpg: WARNING: unsafe permissions on homedir `/etc/mail/spamassassin/sa-update-keys'


Creating this directory and setting proper permissions on it, should have been done by the ebuild during installation.

Reproducible: Always

Please reopen if this is still an issue with current spamassassin.

This is still an issue in the current stable in portage (mail-filter/spamassassin-3.3.2-r5).
