Package: gnupg Version: 2.1.18-6 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
after installation, any call to GPG, e.g. gpg --search Stammler invariably produces the following messages: gpg: failed to start the dirmngr '/usr/bin/dirmngr': No such file or directory gpg: connecting dirmngr at '/run/user/1001/gnupg/S.dirmngr' failed: No such file or directory gpg: error searching keyserver: No dirmngr gpg: keyserver search failed: No dirmngr I have tried copying a .gnupg directory from a Jessie installation but that does not change anything. The same output is produced if GPG is called by root as opposed to a regular user. -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_IE.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_IE.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_IE:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages gnupg depends on: ii gnupg-agent 2.1.18-6 ii libassuan0 2.4.3-2 ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.6-8.1 ii libc6 2.24-11+deb9u1 ii libgcrypt20 1.7.6-2+deb9u1 ii libgpg-error0 1.26-2 ii libksba8 1.3.5-2 ii libreadline7 7.0-3 ii libsqlite3-0 3.16.2-5 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-5 Versions of packages gnupg recommends: pn dirmngr <none> pn gnupg-l10n <none> Versions of packages gnupg suggests: pn parcimonie <none> pn xloadimage <none> -- no debconf information
