[Bug 42199] evolution causes gpg stale locks

[Robert Collins]

Public bug reported:

Affects: evolution (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
When changing from one message to another in the mail view, and the
first one is gpg signed, evolution will [sometimes] kill gpg too
abruptly, leaving a stale lock.

This seems to occur when the 'verifying message (0% complete)' message
is in the status bar.

You can tell this has occured by running gpg --edit-key anykeyhere.

As shown here:
$ gpg --edit-key robertc

gpg: checking the trustdb
gpg: waiting for lock (held by 21748 - probably dead) ...
gpg: waiting for lock (held by 21748 - probably dead) ...

gpg: Interrupt caught ... exiting


I dont know if this is a security bug, buts its certainly problematic: I appear to have lost by public keyring twice in some sort of interaction with this.
