gpg.el still not working

I'm still getting the following errors when attempting to validate
signatures:

[[PGP Signed Part:Error.]
(number-char-or-marker-p nil)]

I don't know why.  I'm running current versions of all the related
files as far as I know.  Could someone please let me know how they
have CVS Gnus working with gpg.el ?

Jack.

I remember seeing that message too, but can't recall when it
happened. Do you have a ~/tmp/ directory with the correct permissions?
Does C-: (setq debug-on-signal t) RET give more information?

"grep -e pgp -e gpg -e mailcrypt -e mc .emacs" shows the following for
me (I have both gpg.el and mailcrypt installed, and Gnus prefers
gpg.el if it finds it, which it does):

(autoload 'mc-install-read-mode "mailcrypt")
(autoload 'mc-install-write-mode "mailcrypt")
 '(gnus-summary-mode-hook (quote (turn-on-gnus-mailing-list-mode mc-install-read-mode hl-line-mode)))

Little typo: it's M-:, not C-:.

My temporary directory does have the proper permissions.

I got a more useful traceback with that setting:

The variable named res isn't being set, and it's in a setq involving
passphrases.  I'll take a closer look.

Those symbols are only found in my .gnus, not in my .xemacs/init.el:

			     (gpg-2comp . "pgpgpg"))
 gpg-passphrase-timeout 5
 gpg-temp-directory "~/.gnupg/tmp"
 mml2015-use 'gpg

The bare key-value pairs are part of large setq statements.  My
bbdb-pgp stuff takes care of signing, and it appears to work -- feel
free to check the signature on any of my recent posts to make sure.

`call-process-region' seem to return nil, but according to the
documentation for that function it should never do this unless buffer
was NIL, which wasn't the case here.  Maybe you can strip down the
code and make a bug report (or discover why this happens)?

Ah, I don't have a .gnus, so what I posted was all I used.

I don't think that variable exists.

>  gnus-use-mailcrypt nil

Neither does this one.

This is not necessary if you have gpg in your load-path.

Hm, are gpg and pgppg in PATH?  Maybe call-process-region returns nil
if the commands aren't found?  For me in Emacs it triggers an error
though, which seems correct.

>  gpg-passphrase-timeout 5

Gpg is the default for mml2015 if it is found, so this shouldn't be
necessary either.

I believe I responded about this the last time the question was asked.

See: <87u1lu52se.fsf@mail.paradoxical.net>

Jack, you asked this about a month ago, and I'm pretty sure the answer
is the same.  Have you tried updating your XEmacs cvs?

I haven't updated my XEmacs sine August 14th.  I am doing so now.

Why not use Gnus?  Put the cursor over the msgid, and hit C-c ^

It looks like you're having the same problem I was dealing with at the
time.

I didn't even think of it.  Learn something new every day.

I just rebuild XEmacs from an updated CVS and am still having the
problem.  Did you ever get a bug report number from Adrian or the
automated thing?  I'll submit one now if you don't have a tracking
number or whatever they use.

I submitted a bug report, and ended up emailing back and forth with
Ben about it for a little while... (I think).  I'm pretty sure he
claimed it would be fixed during the next update from him -- perhaps
it got forgotton?

I'm not runnning the CVS version of XEmacs though, because I kept
having problems (like this one) with it, which I didn't have time to
work out. :(

I just filed a bug report on the situation.  I look forward to hearing
- From them.

This and one other thing keep me in the CVS Xemacs zone.  I'm
currently doing whatever I can to minimize the number of apps I
maintain in CVS -- I have xemacs and Apache2/PHP4/Gallery left.
