GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 318179
GnuPG encryption problem
Last modified: 2006-07-03 13:14:13 UTC
Please describe the problem: I've installed the preview-version of Ubuntu 5.10 and updated to the latest today. Included in Ubuntu is the version 2.4.1 of Evolution. I installed GnuPG (also the latest version included in Ubuntu), and imported my safed public and private gpg-keys. Then I started Evolution and wanted to read a mail that was encrypted and send be a friend using Thunderbird/GnuPG/Enigmail. After the request and input of my passphrase I only get the error messages shown in results. Steps to reproduce: 1. Install GnuPG and Evolution 2. Let someone send you a mail crypted with GnuPG, for example with Thunderbird/Enigmail 3. Try to encrypt and read the message Actual results: The following error messages appear: Could not parse S/MIME message gpg: armor header: Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (MingW32) gpg: armor header: Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org gpg: public key is F4646070 gpg: using subkey F4646070 instead of primary key 264C2A30 gpg: using subkey F4646070 instead of primary key 264C2A30 gpg: public key is 4429D2C8 gpg: encrypted with ELG-E key, ID 4429D2C8 gpg: encrypted with 4096-bit ELG-E key, ID F4646070, created 2005-02-21 "Ralf Weyer (Schl\xfc\x73sel von Ralf Weyer) <ralf.weyer@gmx.de>" gpg: AES256 encrypted data gpg: original file name='' gpg: Signature made Do 06 Okt 2005 13:07:35 CEST using DSA key ID AEB464DE gpg: Can't check signature: public key not found Expected results: Getting an encrypted and readable mail. Does this happen every time? I've tried it the last few days, I think about 20 times. Even a reinstallation of GnuPG and Evolution did not help. Other information: In an Ubuntu-forum I've seen some threads from other users that experienced the same problem, so it really seems to be an error.
it seems that the message is both signed and encrypted, and you are missing the public key of the signature (DSA key ID AEB464DE). do you have that public key installed and also set the trust correctly? does this work outside of evolution on the shell? can you post the link to the ubuntu-forum you're talking about? reinstalling does not work, this is not windows. ;-) the application data will not be removed by uninstalling an application under linux. setting to NEEDINFO, please REOPEN when you add further information. thanks in advance.
Hello, thank's for the quick replay. First here is one link to the ubuntuforum, sorry but it's in german. If you need translation, just let me know. There was some other thread regarding to problems, but at the moment I can only find this one (I'm getting old...) http://www.ubuntuusers.de/viewtopic.php?t=9732&highlight=evolution+gpg When I try to decrypt the saved mail gpg --decrypt encrypted.asc I can read the mail, so gpg seems to work. And as I mentioned before it also works with Thunderbird 1.0.6-0 and Sylpheed 2.1.1-1 And yepp, glad this isn't windows ;-)
i don't care, i'm german, but all the novell guys around here won't understand... ;-) hmm... i guess this is a duplicate of bug 266147?
Ok. confirming this.
