Hey y'all. So, I tried to install bitmask onto my linux mint 17 cinamon 2.2 system the other day, curious about what vpn's had to offer and how they operated. In doing so, I believe I screwed up my gpg by following the instructions for installation onto Ubuntu 15.04 (Vivid). In any case, now enigmail isn't able to open /home/me/.gnupg/pubring.gpg
I've tried re-installing thunderbird with no luck. Ideas?
Thanks

First, this is not a Thunderbird problem: this is a GnuPG problem. You
may have better luck asking on the GnuPG-Users mailing list.
It appears that your .gnupg directory is hosed somehow. Start by
opening a terminal window and typing "ls -l ~/.gnupg". Copy and paste
the output here, and we should be able to give you some better advice.
Your pubring.gpg file might be deleted, your permissions might be wrong,
and so on. There are a lot of possibilities, but the output of that
command will help us narrow down what it is.
