>Description:
As the one line summary mentions libnetpgp doesn't support signing
files when you need them to be armored and detached.

The following code from src/lib/netpgp.c::netpgp_sign_file() obviously
demonstrates this:

        if (detached) {
                ret = __ops_sign_detached(io, f, out, seckey, hashalg,
                                get_birthtime(netpgp_getvar(netpgp, "birthtime")),
                                get_duration(netpgp_getvar(netpgp, "duration")));
        } else {
                ret = __ops_sign_file(io, f, out, seckey, hashalg,
                                get_birthtime(netpgp_getvar(netpgp, "birthtime")),
                                get_duration(netpgp_getvar(netpgp, "duration")),
                                (unsigned)armored, (unsigned)cleartext,
                                overwrite);
        }

The "armored" value is only used in the !detached case.
>How-To-Repeat:
$ netpgp --sign --armor --detach --userid=XXXX <myfile>

That will result in a SIGSEGV and the signature file will be always created "detached" but not "armored".

If you don't mix --armour and --detach all will be ok.
