Package: gnupg Version: 1.4.10-4 Severity: normal I keep some keyrings on a read-only partition, and all gpg is able to tell me is this: gpg: failed to create temporary file `/some/path/.gnupg/.#lk0x25c6960.jigen.7598': Read-only file system gpg: fatal: can't create lock for `/some/path/.gnupg/trustdb.gpg' secmem usage: 0/0 bytes in 0/0 blocks of pool 0/32768
Considering the filesystem is readonly there is no need for a lock file, especially when all that is asked is --list-keys or --fingerprint. Considering the error (EROFS) is very distinguishable from other readonly or failure cases, gpg could detect it and still act without a lock.
