Error creating backup of trustdb with 1.3.92

[Patrick Brunschwig]

When I (e.g.) change the ownertrust of a key, the trustdb is
recalculated upon the following start of gpg. As shown below (Win32
system), this leads to an error causing gpg to return exit code 2, even
though the operation itself completes successfully.

This looks like a bug ...

Please decide how far you trust this user to correctly verify other
users' keys
(by looking at passports, checking fingerprints from different sources,
etc.)

  1 = I don't know or won't say
  2 = I do NOT trust
  3 = I trust marginally
  4 = I trust fully
  5 = I trust ultimately
  m = back to the main menu

Your decision? 4
