I have a slight preference to do it in an expect_success block, because then we'd notice the error more readily (and it gets the benefit verbosity and tracing, too!). The thing I was more worried about is that it's technically a behavior change to set up GNUPGHOME when we're not going to use it (as well as create the directory). But I find it hard to imagine a test that would be affected where my suggested solution wouldn't be "fix the test". -Peff
