[Enigmail] Enigmail asks 2 times for passphrase

[Ludwig Zins]

Seems to be a bug!

I found this:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/enigmail/+bug/246364
http://www.mozilla-enigmail.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=421
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=552086

So I hope this will be solved in future!

@Charly
I have only installed one gpg (1.4.6), this is the correct version of
ubuntu 8.04 Hardy.
