Mailing List Archive: unknown modified files in GNUPGHOME

Hello,

While doing a backup of my $HOME it turned out (what I never saw
before), that some file were changed in GNUPGHOME:

-rw------- 1 guru wheel 157316 21 sept. 10:07 .gnupg-ccid/pubring.kbx
-rw------- 1 guru wheel 155467 21 sept. 10:07 .gnupg-ccid/pubring.kbx~
drwx------ 2 guru wheel 1024 21 sept. 10:08 .gnupg-ccid/crls.d/
-rw------- 1 guru wheel 3997 21 sept. 10:08 .gnupg-ccid/crls.d/DIR.txt
-rw------- 1 guru wheel 17715895 21 sept. 10:08 .gnupg-ccid/crls.d/crl-CDECFDC58640B7262B39CCB59B61E8EEFF2ED4D0.db

All more or less at the same moment. Any ideas what could have caused
this?

Thanks

matthias

The usual backup file without the last edit. gpg writes to a new file,
renames the old file to *~, and then renames the new file to the
original file.

Some CRL was updated. CRLs are downloaded after the have expired,
verified and the content then stored in a constant database (tinycdb)
for index access to the entries.

Shalom-Salam,
