Error when saving PGP Key and Signature

[jjeffryes]

Brief Description: saving a PGP key and signature results in an error

Operating System (OS and version): Windows 10 64bit OpenBazaar version: 1.0.6 Hardware: HP Desktop

Reproducible: Always

Steps to reproduce:

1. Save a PGP Key and Signature in Settings/Page

Observed Behavior: the server returns this error Homedir ''C:\Users\J\ob\OpenBazaar-Server\gnupghome.config\python-gnupg'' needs read/write permissions

Expected Behavior: values are saved without an error

As an addendum to this issue, other users are experiencing errors due to not having a PGP library installed.

Users that do have one installed, and don't get an error when saving, are reporting that the PGP key and Signature do not save. I can't confirm this since my system throws an error when I try to save the PGP key.

The path OpenBazaar-Server\gnupghome.config\ does not exist either

@cpacia if you want to bump this fix for post-v1 let @jjeffryes know so he can comment out the necessary bits in the Client.

hi @cpacia @jjeffryes I'm curious, what did you do to fix this please? I am using python-gnupg elsewhere in windows 10 and am getting this "needs read/write permissions" error due to that double-quoted path parameter: did you end up forking the gnupg repository to make it work ?

[jjeffryes]

@kumrzz in the client the fix was we completely removed any ability to save a PGP key. I don't think it's being used.

ah ok thanks for the clarification !
