[Bug 1247539] Re: [backportpackage] Error: debsign returned 2. Now what?

[anatoly techtonik]

** Description changed:

- $ backportpackage -u ppa:techtonik/ansible -s trusty -d saucy ansible
+ $ backportpackage -u ppa:techtonik/backports -s vivid -d trusty mercurial
  ...
- : clearsign failed: secret key not available
+ dpkg-buildpackage: full upload (original source is included)
+  signfile mercurial_3.1.2-2~ubuntu14.04.1~ppa1.dsc anatoly techtonik <techtonik at UBiX>
+ gpg: skipped "anatoly techtonik <techtonik at UBiX>": secret key not available
+ gpg: /tmp/debsign.qzBHNjqh/mercurial_3.1.2-2~ubuntu14.04.1~ppa1.dsc: clearsign failed: secret key not available
  debsign: gpg error occurred!  Aborting....
  backportpackage: Error: debsign returned 2.
  
- It would be nice to see some proposals, what to do after this message. I
- am just trying to request a backport and test the build to help
- maintainers, and I am out of time to dig entrypoint for this GPG issue.
- Is it possible to guide what to do next? I guess bug #992739 is related.
+ 
+ It is not clear what to do after this message. The problem is that GPG constructs the name as login at HOST instead of using my techtonik at gmail.com
+ credentials.
+ 
+ It would be much more friendly if backportpackage proposed to check
+ your name and email on design 2 error.

** Summary changed:

- [backportpackage] Error: debsign returned 2. Now what?
+ [backportpackage] Provide better error message if GPG key is not found
