(Get the code!)
Suggested Fix:
1) inform the operator that the .gnupg directory is owned by root and therefore cannot be used to generate a key
2) either (preferred) a) give operator option to delete the directory b) authenticate their sudo password, delete the directory and then c) ask if they wish to try again (ie. without having to re-enter the configuration info).
or (at least) b) provide a short explanation that they will need to do the steps above manually.
Note: the op reported that the error dialog box actually showed the html tags. Since this is no longer the case, that aspect of the bug seems to have been fixed.
