gpgp verification fails without gpg.el

gpgp verification fails without gpg.el

[Kevin Falcone]

I have gpg signing/verification etc set up to use mailcrypt, and it
was working fine with gnus for both plain text and pgp/mime
verifications, but it has started failing for plain-text signings in
the last few days.

When I click on the button, I get 

[[PGP Signed Part:Failed]
Autoloading failed to define function gpg-verify-cleartext]

M-x load-library ~/cvs/gnus/contrib/gpg

makes everything happy

[[PGP Signed Part:OK]
gpg: armor header: Hash: SHA1
gpg: armor header: Version: PGPfreeware 5.0i for non-commercial use
gpg: armor header: Comment: Processed by Mailcrypt 3.5.5, an Emacs/PGP interface
gpg: armor header: Charset: noconv
gpg: original file name=''
gpg: Signature made Sun Jul 16 21:48:47 2000 EDT using DSA key ID 4E31A819
gpg: Good signature from "Robert Spier <rspier@seas.upenn.edu>"

So, do I need to use gpg.el instead of mailcrypt now?

What's `mml2015-use' value?

Does M-x toggle-debug-on-error RET give a backtrace?

No, either gpg.el or mailcrypt should work.

gpg

I assume that this needs to be mailcrypt to work properly

No, tried that first

well, adding (setq mml2015-use 'mailcrypt) to my .gnus fixed it, but
it looks like mml2015.el is trying to autodetect which to use, and
failing.  Ah, I had an old version of gpg.elc in my load path, so the
test for (require 'gpg) worked, but loaded an older broken version.
Removing that makes the automatic test work.

thanks
