This was helpful, and hopefully may come in handy to others who find themselves with an ipcop which is not displaying parts of the web interface.

I reinstalled the 1.4.21 patch using this method and it fixed the interface, which was missing much of its text.

yes, I was logged in as root, and my .gnupg directory appears to look just like yours.
I guess I will try again, do some more head scratching and searching.

I don’t know is the answer, I’m afraid!

I assume you are running the command as root (not admin)? If so, I have 755 on .gnupg/ and 600 on all the files in it, if that helps. I also have the following contents…

gpg.conf
pubring.gpg
secring.gpg
trustdb.gpg

… with pubring and trustdb being non-empty.

I am trying to get 1.4.20 upgraded to 1.4.21
I downloaded the patch with wget and moved it to the correct directory then ran the install. Got these error messages:

gpg: WARNING: unsafe permissions on homedir ‘/root/.gnupg’
secmem usage: 1408/1408 bytes in 2/2 blocks of pool 1408/32768
Public signature not found (who signed package?)!

I don’t know anything about linux or unix, do you have any idea what the problem might be?

Many thanks for your wisdom-
