hauser_till2017.crt

the audit log says << * Unbekannte Operation
* Dirmngr benutzbar   Ja >>

leaf is hauser_till2017.crt

Comment 4 RH 2015-08-30 20:50:50 UTC

Created attachment 94294 [details]
qvRootTill2021.crt

if I add the root, it still fails with <<File exists>>

so if I try to encrypt the attached png, I see

ls -lart docs/notFound.png*
-rwxrwx---+ 1 hauser None 37640 Aug 30 22:41 docs/notFound.png
-rwxrwx---+ 1 hauser None     0 Aug 30 22:47 docs/notFound.png.p7m.BT6716

==> at least say which file exists in which directory
