Unable to locate GnuPGP program

[Stephen Gornick]

Binary package hint: enigmail

After installing EnigMail plugin on my Ubuntu Gutsy 7.10 AMD64 system, I went to add a Key (Thunderbird, OpenPGP -> Key Management). I then was shown an error message saying that it was unable to locate GnuPGP.

I then went in to Preferences (OpenPGP -> Preferences) and saw that the "Override" in "Files and Directories" was checked:
  [x} Override with
   and the value in the field was:
     C:\Program Files\ ... [something or other, sorry, I didn't record it]

I unchecked the checkbox, and subsequent attempts to add a Key (OpenPGP -> Key Management) were successul.

Expected behavior:
  The Override with should be unchecked, and the default gnuPGP should be used.

I uninstalled and reinstalled Enigmail hoping to recreate this issue but the Override was not checked the second time.

I have installed Engimail several times on different computers, and I have never seen that checkbox checked by default. Looks like this is not a valid bug.

PS: "C:\Program Files\"? o_0

I cannot replicate the issue -- tried using the AMD64 LiveCD and installing Thunderbird and Enigmail but the isue did not appear.

My Thunderbird mail profile was originally from a Windows sytem but I am not sure if that has anything to do with how C:\Program Files\... showed up in the Override.

Changing status to Invalid since I cannot cause the problem to recur.
