gpg2 and private keys
 
I tried to use claws-mail and kontact mobile with gnupg.
I think gpg2 has some bug in fremantle: It stores private keys in /home/user/.gnupg/pubring.gpg where it should store them in /home/user/.gnupg/secring.gpg. Or is it ok to import and use secret keys within pubring.gpg?


To reproduce:

At my PC everything seems fine:
Code:

hede@PC:~$ gpg2 --list-secret-keys
/home/hede/.gnupg/secring.gpg
--------------------------------
[keydata]

hede@PC:~$ gpg --list-secret-keys
/home/hede/.gnupg/secring.gpg
--------------------------------
[keydata]

At the N900:
Code:

~ $ gpg --list-secret-keys
/home/user/.gnupg/secring.gpg
-----------------------------
[keydata]
~ $ gpg2 --list-secret-keys
/home/user/.gnupg/pubring.gpg
-----------------------------
[keydata]

The last one, showing secret keys off pubring.gpg, seems to be wrong.

btw: I wasn't able to successfully encrypt any mail. claws-mails cannot encrypt nor sign because the menu to enable encryption is not accessible at the phone and kontact mobile refuses to recognize my key for encryption, while signing works. And modest, the N900 Mail Client, is not able to do anything with gpg... but that's no secret.

Re: gpg2 and private keys
 
AFAIK Modest is open source so if you really want GPG support, go write some code :)
