Description

In the aforementioned function, we have:

  if (!access (filename, F_OK))
    return 0;

0 means it is okay to access the specified file. However, it could be that
access returns EACCESS. In this case we should probably not return 0.

Mentioned Here: rG5d13581f4737: gpg,sm: Add STATUS_ERROR keydb_search and keydb_add-resource.

Did you mean:
In this case we should also return 0 ?

I recently di this change:

+ return !access (filename, R_OK)? 0 : gpg_error (GPG_ERR_EACCES);

Does that solve your problem?

Fix is in 2.1.18
