Some further observations. I tried running strace against the icedove process
This is what I see after clicking `Import OpenPGP signature' Notice that between the open() and close(), there is no write operation? access("/tmp", W_OK) = 0 open("/tmp/0x6C6580E77BD756C4.3.signed-by-0xD929F2992BEF0A33", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_EXCL|O_TRUNC, 0600) = 68 close(68) = 0 poll([{fd=5, events=POLLIN|POLLOUT}], 1, -1) = 1 ([{fd=5, revents=POLLIN|POLLOUT}]) I've also referred to the icedove troubleshooting wiki http://wiki.debian.org/Icedove#Debugging but running in debug mode didn't reveal anything else about the problem. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
