Version: kleopatra 0.31 (using KDE KDE 3.3.2) Installed from: SuSE RPMs OS: Linux When the user has not run gpg and the ~/.gnupg directory does not exist, kleopatra (or KDE control panel crypto section) is unable to import certificates (such as SSL/X509 root certificates). It gave an error message as not being able to import the certificate. Once gpg was run once, the import was successful.
This is a known problem with gnupg. We are in contact with the authors of gnupg to resolve this.
This no longer happens, I've moved my .gnupg folder away and a new one gets created when I start Kleopatra.
