gpg: keyblock resource `/home/user': file open error
gpg: can add keyblock file `/home/REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_USER/.gnupg
/pubring.gpg
Key generation failed: file create error
gpg: can't create `/home/REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_USER/.gnupg/
random_seed': No such file or directory
This problem occurs because the .gnupg directory isn't created by the time you
generate your keys. So you will have to create the directory by hand.
$ mkdir .gnugp
$ gpg --gen-key
[salt@mimir ~]$ ls .gnupg
pubring.gpg pubring.gpg~ random_seed secring.gpg trustdb.gpg
Eh, voila, no rocket sience behind that gpg problem.
However, this is a very common mistake amongst experienced Unix users.
We tend to spend 3 or or more days testing than spend 5 minutes with the
manual. Maybe that's why we become experts on the systems eventually.
Trial and error, learning by doing.
