<p><strong>Attach a screenshot of the version info for all installed components (how to: <a href="https://gpgtools.tenderapp.com/kb/faq/where-can-i-find-version-info-of-the-installed-tools">https://gpgtools.tenderapp.com/kb/faq/where-can-i-find-version-info...</a>):</strong> Unable, System Preferences hangs when attempting to display version info.</p>
<p><strong>Describe your problem. Add as much detail as possible.</strong> Installer hangs. Following line repeated: ./postinstall: gpg: waiting for lock (held by 38380).... Details and info further below.</p>
<p><strong>What did you expect instead</strong> Installer to continue and finish.</p>
<p><strong>Describe steps leading to the problem.</strong> Attempting to install / upgrade GPGTools and Mail plugin to the latest version on MacOS Big Sur (fully updated).<br>
Installer hangs after following steps:<br>
./postinstall: [gtk] Test for gpg2... ./postinstall: [gtk] Setting up environment... ./postinstall: [gtk] Importing key... ./postinstall: gpg: key xxxxxxxx: 584 signatures not checked due to missing keys ./postinstall: gpg: key xxxxxxxx: 1 bad signature</p>
<p>Following line repeated: ./postinstall: gpg: waiting for lock (held by 38380).... (This is where the installer hangs). Have to force quit the installer.</p>
<p>I have tried doing and uninstall, reboot, then fresh install: Same result.<br>
I have tried doing uninstall, reboot into safe mode, then fresh install: Same result.<br>
I have tried above steps and using root user credentials: Same result.</p>
<p><strong>Are you using any other Mail.app plugins?</strong> No</p></div>John R.tag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/489105332020-12-17T10:12:45Z2020-12-17T10:12:45ZAnyone else having this happen when installing/updating on MacOS Big Sur (11.1)<div><p>Hi John,</p>
<p>we are sorry for your bad experience.<br>
It appears that there‘s a stale lock file in your <code>~/.gnupg</code> folder. You should be able to see them by running:</p>
<pre>
<code>ls -l ~/.gnupg/*.l{o,}ck</code>
</pre>
<p>Please remove any lock files you find and re-try the installation.</p>
<p>Hope that helps.</p></div>Luke Letag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/489105332020-12-17T12:46:15Z2020-12-17T12:46:15ZAnyone else having this happen when installing/updating on MacOS Big Sur (11.1)<div><p>That fixed it. Removed the mentioned file, and the install went without a hitch. Any idea what would have caused the random lock file?</p></div>John R.tag:gpgtools.tenderapp.com,2011-11-04:Comment/489105332020-12-17T14:27:28Z2020-12-17T14:27:28ZAnyone else having this happen when installing/updating on MacOS Big Sur (11.1)<div><p>It’s very rare that this happens, but could occur if your computer crashes while gpg is still running</p></div>Luke Le
