Description: ------------ Crypt_GPG can not throw the correct error messege if gnupg folder can not be locked (in case of no write permissions for example). Test script: --------------- chmod -R 000 /home/test/gpg ... require_once 'Crypt/GPG.php'; $gpg = new Crypt_GPG(array('homedir' => '/home/test/gpg', 'debug' => true)); try { $signatures = $gpg->verify('some_string', 'some_string_signature'); } catch (Exception $e) { // "Unknown error validating signature details" // probably means that /home/test/gpg folder // has incorrect permissions set. // Error message should contain more information. echo $e->getMessage(); } Expected result: ---------------- Crypt_GPG should detect if gnupg can not write lock file to it's folder and throw the informative exception. Actual result: -------------- n/a

homedir needs to be both executable and writable
