Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: seahorse
Since upgrading to Hardy, a few times I've discovered my
~/.gnupg/secring.gpg to be truncated to zero bytes. I suspect seahorse,
only because it's the major thing I can think of that has changed since
the upgrade; I have never explicitly installed or configured seahorse,
and AFAICT, Gutsy did not set it for use by default, whereas now
GPG_AGENT_INFO seems to be directed at seahorse. At least,
Enigmail/Thunderbird always used its builtin passphrase dialog
previously, whereas now by default it uses seahorse's.
I'm afraid I have zero reproduction info: I am not yet aware of the
steps that lead to it being truncated, only that suddenly I can't sign
emails because I have no secret keys. It's entirely possible that my
problem is specific to the combination of Seahorse/Enigmail/Thunderbird.
I'm hoping someone could give me tips on finding ways to reproduce the
problem easily: I don't want to use Seahorse so have unset
GPG_AGENT_INFO in a wrapper around Thunderbird, so am probably far less
likely to reproduce it on my own now; but I'm willing to try things (and
have backups of my keys).
