Description:

The gpg-zip command does not function in Arch. It returns a "command not found" error. This is curious, since the man page for gpg-zip exists. Please enable the gpg-zip functionality. Thank you.


Additional info:

gnupg 2.1.2-2


Steps to reproduce:

Type "gpg-zip" on command line. Message returns "bash: gpg-zip: command not found."
This task depends upon

It is not installed by the default target of the Makefile (though the configure script correctly detects /usr/bin/tar as being USTAR compatible); could you report this upstream?

I don't really understand what you're saying about the Makefile, etc., (sorry, beyond my Linux knowledge) and am not sure I would know how to properly report this upstream.

Also, it seems to work fine in Debian, are you sure this is not an Arch issue? Indeed, in this Arch thread, Allan specifically said if people want to see this working someone should file a feature request for Arch:

The install script upstream wrote chooses to install the gpg-zip manpage by default but not the program itself. The best way to fix this is to ask upstream to improve their install script. The way to communicate with upstream is to log in http://bugs.gnupg.org/gnupg/ and create a new "issue". You only have to say that gpg-zip should be installed by default along with its manpage, and refer to this bug report in the upstream "issue" ticket.

It would be great if you could do that. If not, let me know and I could of course take care of it.

You can also apply http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/gnupg2.git/tree/gnupg-2.0.20-insttools.patch?id=4d96c715b0eb247b991d1c80d94f6e6323245b7b until upstream fixes this or manually install the binary. It's present and built in source tree.

Sure, I just wanted to make sure upstream knew about this.
