Description envite 2010-08-05 14:53:26 UTC

Version:           1.13.5 (using KDE 4.4.5) 
OS:                Linux

If changing the debug level option to basic in gpg options, gpg stops working

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Go to Configure Kmail -> Security -> Encryption engines -> OpenGPG (gpg) -> Set debug level to -> Basic
(actual names may not be exactly that, I don't have kmail localized in english)

Actual Results:  
$HOME/.gnupg/gpg.conf file gets these lines added:

###+++--- GPGConf ---+++###
utf8-strings
debug-level basic
###+++--- GPGConf ---+++### jue 05 ago 2010 13:40:36 WEST
# GPGConf edited this configuration file.
# It will disable options before this marked block, but it will
# never change anything below these lines.

These lines cause gpg binary to crash:

user@host$ gpg --list-keys
gpg: NOTA: se ignora el antiguo fichero de opciones predefinidas `/home/user/.gnupg/options'
gpg: /home/user/.gnupg/gpg.conf:242: invalid option

Thus, encryption and signing become unusable both from inside Kmail and at command line until these lines are deleted by hand.

Expected Results:  
Kmail should have set up a correct set of gpg options in $HOME/.gnupg/gpg.conf

gpg (GnuPG) 1.4.10

Same here with KMail 1.13.7.

$ gpg
gpg: /home/diego/.gnupg/gpg.conf:5: argument not expected
gpg: /home/diego/.gnupg/gpg.conf:6: invalid option

because I have:
$ cat .gnupg/gpg.conf
# GnuPG config file created by KGpg

###+++--- GPGConf ---+++###
utf8-strings
debug-level basic
log-file socket:///home/diego/.gnupg/log-socket
keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net
###+++--- GPGConf ---+++### mar 18 gen 2011 15:33:08 CET
# GPGConf edited this configuration file.
# It will disable options before this marked block, but it will
# never change anything below these lines.



Commenting debug-level and log-file line fixes the problem. Can anybody check the problem with KMail 2?
