What steps will reproduce the problem? I downloaded the os x assistant today. I'd previously installed it but hadn't linked it to another repo. I tried to create a remote repo on an ssh server using the assistant. What is the expected output? What do you see instead? Creating a remote repo or giving an understandable error message. What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system? 3.20121212 OS X 10.8.2 (Mountain Lion) The remote machine is running debian stable. Please provide any additional information below. Internal Server Error user error (gpg ["--quiet","--trust-model","always","--gen-random","--armor","1","512"] exited 127) git-annex version 3.20121212 > [[done]], see comments --[[Joey]]
