Package: dirmngr Version: 2.1.18-8~deb9u1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
I wanted to test some signatures, thus had to fetch keys. In Debian Stretch, dirmngr is kind of expected to be around to use gpg --recv-keys. Starting dirmngr is easy, either foreground or as daemon. "dirmngr" will start in foreground, create missing directories. "dirmngr --daemon" should start in the background, but it doesn't create missing directories (~/.gnupg): dirmngr[988]: error opening '/root/.gnupg/dirmngr_ldapservers.conf': No such file or directory dirmngr[988]: error binding socket to '/root/.gnupg/S.dirmngr': No such file or directory Exited with code 1 ~/repo# dirmngr dirmngr[1574]: error opening '/root/.gnupg/dirmngr_ldapservers.conf': No such file or directory dirmngr[1574.0]: permanently loaded certificates: 0 dirmngr[1574.0]: runtime cached certificates: 0 dirmngr[1574.0]: failed to open cache dir file '/root/.gnupg/crls.d/DIR.txt': No such file or directory dirmngr[1574.0]: creating directory '/root/.gnupg' dirmngr[1574.0]: creating directory '/root/.gnupg/crls.d' dirmngr[1574.0]: new cache dir file '/root/.gnupg/crls.d/DIR.txt' created # Home: /root/.gnupg # Config: [none] OK Dirmngr 2.1.18 at your service If I create a directory, or start in foreground, stop and start in background things *do* work as expected. Would it be possible to let the --daemon behave similar and thus create the missing ~/.gnupg/? -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.2 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.4.0-103-generic (SMP w/32 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: unable to detect Versions of packages dirmngr depends on: ii adduser 3.115 ii libassuan0 2.4.3-2 ii libc6 2.24-11+deb9u1 ii libgcrypt20 1.7.6-2+deb9u2 ii libgnutls30 3.5.8-5+deb9u3 ii libgpg-error0 1.26-2 ii libksba8 1.3.5-2 ii libldap-2.4-2 2.4.44+dfsg-5+deb9u1 ii libnpth0 1.3-1 ii lsb-base 9.20161125 Versions of packages dirmngr recommends: ii gnupg 2.1.18-8~deb9u1 Versions of packages dirmngr suggests: pn dbus-user-session <none> pn libpam-systemd <none> pn pinentry-gnome3 <none> pn tor <none> -- no debconf information
