[Bug 433049] [NEW] [KDE 4.3.1]KMail/Kgpg says bad passphrase

[dmoyne]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kmail

when using sign feature with kgpg now Kmail says "not the good passphrase" without asking for it ; to have this feature to work did follow this procedure :
(1) setting a key with gnome (could not do it with kgpg and reported bug accordingly),
(2) use-agent not commented in "~/.gnupg/gpg.conf"
(3) addition of :
pinentry-program /usr/bin/pinentry-qt
no-grab
default-cache-ttl 1800~/.kde/
in file "~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf"
(4) installation of the file "start-agent-gpg.sh" in when using sign feature with kgpg now Kmail says not the good passphrase without asking for it ; to have this feature to work did follow this procedure :
(1) setting a key with gnome (could not do it with kgpg and reported bug accordingly),
(2) use-agent not commented in "~/.gnupg/gpg.conf"
(3) addition of :
pinentry-program /usr/bin/pinentry-qt
no-grab
default-cache-ttl 1800~/.kde/
in file "~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf"
(4) installation of the file "start-agent-gpg.sh" in "~/.kde/Autostart" with following content :
#!/bin/bash
if grep -q '^use-agent' ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf; then
 eval "`gpg-agent --daemon`"
fi
(5) installation of the file "shutdown-agent-gpg.sh" in "~/.kde/shutdown" with following content :
#!/bin/bash
[ -n "${GPG_AGENT_INFO}" ] &&    kill $(echo "${GPG_AGENT_INFO}" | cut -d ':' -f 2)

#!/bin/bash
if grep -q '^use-agent' ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf; then
 eval "`gpg-agent --daemon`"

This worked fine until an update of Kmail happened.

Something also that hapens regularly ; Kmail like all other KDE
application do not have the "bug report" feature in "Help" menu working
with no usable error message when run from aconsole.

Regards.
