thunderbird-115.11 and external gnupg

[fosco]

After the update to the new ( mail-client/thunderbird-115.11.0::gentoo ) version I experienced failures in signing with opengpg.
My signature is on an external smartcard and I use external gnupg in TB

gpg works as standalone (read the smartcard, crypts,...).
Before the update openpgp worked fine in thunderbird (Nothing touched, it just stopped working).

Running TB from console revealed that librnp finds an empy ~/.rnp where 0 keys were stored; that sounds: the keys are in ~/.gnupg .

After rmdir of .rnp gnupg got back on work in Thunderbird and signing email works again.

I have no idea if .rnp were there since ages but it was of recent edit, It seems to me that:

- rnp kicking-in prevent gnupg as functionality provider in TB
OR \ AND
- thunderbird-115.11 lead to creation of .rnp

Don't know if any change should occur somewhere but it took me a while to get a solution was that easy, so I'm leaving it here

have a look at the thunderbird use flags. https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/mail-client/thunderbird
There is system-librnp and maybe this changed something at your end.

mail-client/thunderbird was built with system-librnp (the default behaviour) it pulls dev-util/librn.
I prefer, even if I'm not using the library to have it shared in the tree than let Thunderbird run it's own version.

It makes sense that at some update of dev-util/libprn a config forlder is created and that it affects the way thunderbird interact with the system-wide librnp...
