As a slight update, I've found out that another co-worker of mine installed the new 8.2 distro as well, and also has problems w/GPG and Evolution. He doesn't get the same error as I do, his will actually do the gpg signing, however, it corrupts his signature, and I'm unable to validate it anymore (I can still validate his old pre-8.2 upgrade signatures). Also, I've tried compiling and installing the latest gpg tarball, but I still get the same error message as before when I try to sign an email. I did get rid of the line regarding the config file by re-naming the file, but I'm still seeing the rest of the errors. -- Preston Kutzner | IT Manager Is it possible that software is not like anything else, that it is meant to be discarded: that the whole point is to always see it as a soap bubble?
