Getting easypg working in Ubuntu karmic
Published 2010-06-22
I use easypg with emacs to encrypt text files, and with the default install of emacs 23 in karmic, while I could open the encrypted files, I could not save them. Here's the error I got:
Opening output file: integer-or-marker-p nil
Here's the patch to fix the issue. Note: Looks like that link is now incorrect, so I've included the patch below.
