If multiple certs of mixed protocols (openpgp and smime) are deleted, most of the time (not every time) a "Permission Denied" error occurs for the smime certs:
To reproduce (in a clean gnupghome):
- Import the testcerts
- Edward_Tester_0xB5297489_SECRET.asc (openpgp)
- ted.tester@demo.gnupg.com-sign.p12 (smime; without root cert)
- Select both certs and delete them => The error occurs and the smime certs remain in list. Another try to delete them will work
