bug#682: 23.0.60; epa-file fails to encrypt file

[Michael Ekstrand]

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

I opened a file I had encrypted previously with epa-file, edited it, and
saved it.  I received the following error:

> Opening output file: Encrypt failed: ((invalid-recipient (reason . 0)
> (requested-recipient . "78DBE585")))

I also receive the error when I wrote its contents to a clear text file
and then attempted to re-encrypt with C-x C-w file.gpg, even when doing
so after opening the clear text file in a fresh Emacs instance.

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/opt/emacs-cvs/share/emacs/23.0.60/etc/DEBUG for instructions.
