Cannot sign assertion on Ubuntu 18

snapd
1

Hello everyone,

if I run my snap sign on an Ubuntu 18.04.2 desktop version, I get a problem with signing:

error: cannot sign assertion: cannot sign using GPG: /usr/bin/gpg --personal-digest-preferences SHA512 --default-key 0x8087CDB7729743472AEB5ACF81235414E92BF955 --detach-sign failed: exit status 2 ("gpg: WARNING: unsafe ownership on homedir '/home/ubuntu/.snap/gnupg'\ngpg: signing failed: No such file or directory\ngpg: signing failed: No such file or directory\n")

Any idea what the problem might be? I have no problem executing it on an Ubuntu 16.04 system.

Thanks for your help

No, on AWS EC2 Ubuntu 18.04 image. But we have also seen it failing on local system.
