kleopatra complains that gpgme should be compiled with gpgconf support

Same result for kleopatra from KDE 4.2 beta:
ii kleopatra 4:4.1.80-0ubuntu1~intrepid1~p KDE Certificate Manager

I confirm. And it causes some strange behaviour when you try to configure the keyservers or other configurations related to gpgconf.

I confirm. Same packages version.
I also get errors that in English would sound like 'unable to detect certificate type', when trying to import certificates from a file. That ends up with a failure in verifying the email signature.

Fix. I recompiled libgpgme11 from source and that fixed the error message. I can confirm that gpg encryption/decryption now work in kmail, but not signing for some reason. I have attached the rebuilt deb and all the source stuff I used to compile this package.

source

This bug was fixed in the package gpgme1.0 - 1.1.8-2ubuntu2

---------------
gpgme1.0 (1.1.8-2ubuntu2) jaunty; urgency=low

So does this means you aren't going to fix this in Intrepid because the Jaunty
package works?

No. All it means is that the bug isn't in kdepim.

OK, gotcha. I misunderstood. Thanks.

Unfortunately this has rendered seahorse unbuildable since it Build-Conflicts: gnupg2. Somebody should investigate this.

I've filed bug 346591 for the seahorse problem.

It seems that it is sufficient for gpgme to know the path of where it should find gpgconf, just as with the gpg and gpgsm binaries. Simply adding "--with-gpgconf=/usr/bin/gpgconf" to its configure options makes it work for me.
Attaching debdiff

This update also caused bug 352180. I will change the binary dependency to be "gnupg | gnupg2". In fact, I see no reason why a library should depend on any application in the first place.
