[Bug 139300] installing enigmail created ~/.gnupg that was owned by root

[Enselic]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: enigmail

I run Ubuntu 7.10, and run Thunderbird.

After I installed enigmail with

  sudo apt-get install enigmail

and tried to use OpenPGP in Thunderbird, I got "no access"-errors. It
turned out that

  ls -la ~

showed

  drwx------  2 root   root       4096 2007-08-10 23:28 .gnupg

so the fix was simply to do

  sudo chown -R $USER:$USER .gnupg

after enigmail was installed.
