Today Gpg has stopped working again. I presume it is down to the upgrade I did a few hours ago. I tried replacing pubring with a known good version, just in case there actually was some corruption, but it made no difference. Neither kgpg nor KMail offer me any keys - just a blank sheet.

Anything gpg-related in /var/log/update.log ?
this? https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F10/FEDORA-2009-2744

I don't have an update.log, but yum.log shows what appears to be that package on the 17th March. Since the netbook boots daily it's unlikely to be that.
I can't see an obvious culprit, Rex. There's lots of perl stuff, NetworkManager stuff and a new kernel. It's not the kernel - I've checked.

I don't have an update.log,
Sorry, /var/log/yum.log
There really must be something wrong in the Fedora packages, although I've no indication whatsoever where to look. All I know is the _something_ causes corruption. I can't even tell whether it is caused by kmail or by kgpg. I checked with Thunderbird, and that also could not use the keyring.
I've got this working again, but I had to rename the whole .gnupg folder and start a completely new one, importing the signatures that I know I need. It only seems to happen on Fedora boxes. Sorry I can't report anything more helpful, but it has to be corruption in one of the files.
If you get any ideas about checks that can be made, please tell me.

Eww... ok, time to eat my own dog food. I'll switch my primary MUA to kmail (from thunderbird), and start using gpg signing more, and see where I end up.

Don't forget to backup your .gnupg folder first :-) Whatever the problem is, it can go along without a problem for months, but when it fails it's totally without warning.

Thanks Anne. :)
Ayway... I notice everyonce in awhile like now, actually, that gnome-keyring-daemon pops up with gpg-agent. Maybe, this has something to do with your problem? Don't know really like I said before just my 2 cents worth.

The config file for gpg-agent sets how long it will remember and use your passphrase. It will pop up again when that time expires. I think that's all that you are seeing.
