[Pkg-gnupg-maint] Bug#634930: gpa: GPA unusable due to "General Assuan error"

Sat Oct 6 23:05:27 UTC 2012

Just to let you know that I can confirm this bug on a Ubuntu 12.04 amd64 
setup. Since gpa is not available in the Ubuntu repositories, I 
downloaded the 0.9.3 sources and compiled. The result is this same 
error. I removed the home-compiled version and instead installed the 
0.9.3 amd64 .deb version from the debian website 
(http://ftp.ca.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/gpa/gpa_0.9.3-1_amd64.deb), 
and it fails with the same error.

Upon finding this thread I tried launching gpa from command line with 
the --disable-x509 option, and the error disappears.
