23.0.60; epg: (file-error "Opening output file" integer-or-marker-p nil)

[Eric Hanchrow]

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the address@hidden mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

I visited a file that I keep encrypted with a symmetric passphrase using
PGP.  That worked fine: it prompted me for my password, and displayed it
properly.  Then I made some changes and typed C-x C-s; I saw

    Debugger entered--Lisp error: (file-error "Opening output file" 
integer-or-marker-p nil)
      signal(file-error ("Opening output file" integer-or-marker-p nil))

      call-interactively(save-buffer nil nil)

(Actually I've replaced the file's real name with "xxx.gpg")

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/usr/local/src/emacs-via-git/etc/DEBUG for instructions.
