[SOLVED] PGP missing conf files

Hi,

I seen several topics about this but none of them was usefull for my problem.

If i look for:
~/.gnupg/gpg.conf
~/.gnupg/dirmgr.conf
Both are unexisting

Also in the wiki theres said that i should copy the files from:
/usr/share/gnupg/

Unfortunaly there are only:
distsigkey.gpg
sks-keyservers.netCA.pem
and some help files (not that they help much)
nothing like gpg.conf.skel

I came across this while i was installing a aur package
i got this error:

==> FOUT: Een of meer PGP signaturen konden niet geverifieerd worden!
==> ERROR: Makepkg was unable to build eid-mw.
==> Restart building eid-mw ? [y/N]

in English:
1 or more pgp signatures could not be verrified

i did use this command after digging in the eid-mw aur thread.
gpg --recv-keys D95426E309C0492990D8E8E2824A5E0010A04D46
There is allso told to add:
keyserver-options auto-key-retrieve
in the gpg.conf file
and:
disable-ipv6
in the dirmgr.conf file

do i missing something?

Re: [SOLVED] PGP missing conf files

Those files are not there by default, create blank files instead, then use gpg(1) and see the FILES section to configure what you want.

You do *not* need any sort of default files.
