Are you able to get gpg to work with tsocks? This thread
<http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-users/2002-April/012692.html> (and the
reply <http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-users/2002-April/012695.html>)
seems to say so. The fix is beyond the scope of this list. Reporting the
bug to gpg or tsocks maintainer might help, although I doubt they will make
it a priority since a workaround already exists.
