Description Christian Hesse 2014-04-08 09:48:25 UTC

Doing any write operation on the local keyring (I could reproduce with 'gpg --refresh-keys' and with 'gpg --receive-keys ...' as well) claws-mails kills the keyring when accessing it.

So running one of the commands above and reading a signed mail at the same time you have to recover from backup.

tried to reproduce this. the worst I could do was to freeze Claws whilst --refresh-keys was taking place.

Comment 2 Christian Hesse 2014-04-08 10:23:37 UTC

Hmm... I have never seen Claws blocking because of gpg activity. Possibly gpg and gpgme do use different lock files on my system? I will investigate further.

Comment 3 Christian Hesse 2014-04-08 10:30:18 UTC

Uh, I had 'lock-never' in my ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf - so I should blame myself. This probably resisted from any tests I did... Sorry for the noise, please close the bug with invalid.
