I had a probably related /two or three/ times over the last week: When sending a signed copy Gnus complains about a wrong passphrase, but actually had correctly send the message. Signing the Gcc for IMAP storage didn't work, however. Undo till the "Gcc:" was back, C-c C-c again, saying no to resend-question did ask me for the passphrase again and worked. Maybe something with passphrase caching?

PGG or something else seems to be pretty broken since about 2 or 3 weeks. My experiences: 1) When I use the set-policy-url option in my gpg.conf I can't sign mails anymore ("sign error"). After removing this option I can sign mails again. 2) Certain mails fail to decrypt. I'm asked for my passphrase again and again (and I *really* typed it correctly). Going back to an official Gnus release helped to successfully decrypt this certain mail. 3) I use PGG's passphrase-caching. I want to read an encrypted mail and enter my passphrase and the mail gets decrypted. Then I go to another encrypted mail and instead of decrypting it, I get: ,---- | [[PGP Encrypted Part:Failed]] | [1. application/pgp-encrypted] | | Version: 1 | [[End of PGP Encrypted Part]] `---- Then I move around in the buffer and enter other messages and then go back to the mail which failed to decrypt before and suddenly it gets automatically decrypted. I enabled pgg-gpg-debug but can't find anything useful to report in the corresponding buffers. I'm also trying to go back and checking out several CVS versions from the last days/weeks but have been unsucessful so far to find out when this "behaviour" was introduced. By the way, I'm using GPG 1.4.3 and fresh CVS versions of Gnus on both Debian and FreeBSD. CVS Emacs is fresh as well.

After removing this option I can sign >> mails again. Hmm, did you really get a "sign error" signalled?[1] When I tried to reproduce it, I got a 'search-failed one from pgg-parse-armor, because pgg-gpg-sign-region returned successful signing status and an empty output buffer at the same time. In my case, GnuPG[2] returned a non-zero exit-status because it couldn't generate a signature with a policy URL while maintaining PGP compatibility. Nevertheless, it did the signing without a policy URL and reported SIG_CREATED. The non-zero exit status caused the pgg-gpg sentinel to discard the output, pgg-gpg-sign-region however saw the SIG_CREATED on the status-fd and returned success despite the discarded output. Switching PGP-compatibility off via "openpgp" in gpg.conf made the signing succeed with a policy URL set. Of course, the underdone error handling is still there, and I wonder if one should fix it by making the sentinel not discard the output on non-zero exit status, or forcing pgg-gpg to return failure even if there might be useful output. Anyone? regards, andreas [1] I'm figuring that the " *MML2015 result*" buffer should have popped up then, and the problem with the policy-url option should have been obvious. OTOH you might have already disabled PGP compatibility, and are experiencing a different bug :-/. [2] 1.4.1 ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 10+ messages in thread

Anyone? I've studied the code on the trunk a bit more, and discovered another major issue: The usage of the same file descriptor for commands and data fails horribly in some places. This is responsible for the rest of the bugs I managed to reproduce. ISTM both problems have already been identified and fixed two months ago, but didn't make it into the No Gnus CVS: <http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel/52470> <http://www.unixuser.org/~ueno/pgg-20060407.tar.gz> ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 10+ messages in thread

See my thread mentioned above. > Switching PGP-compatibility off via "openpgp" in gpg.conf made the > signing succeed with a policy URL set. Yes, this should be a work-around. However, I'm just using a rather simple and standard gpg.conf. > Of course, the underdone error handling is still there, and I wonder > if one should fix it by making the sentinel not discard the output on > non-zero exit status, or forcing pgg-gpg to return failure even if > there might be useful output. Anyone? I think it's something in pgg.el because when I exchange my pgg.el from CVS with the one from the stable release of Gnus everything works fine again.
