Whenever displaying mails (encrypted or not) thunderbird gives the following error message: "Could not start the gpg-agent program which is needed for your GnuPG version 2.0.17." [OK] Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Upgrade to =mail-client/thunderbird-5.0 2. Click on an email
This is maybe related to bug #327099
emerge --info needs to be on every bug report before, I am not gonna guess what arch and all you are using. Please feel free to reopen with emerge --info

Created attachment 278997 [details] my enigdbug.txt, I hope it helps.
killall gpg-agent && gpg-agent --daemon run the following and report back ... this is usually caused from the daemon not being restarted after an upgrade.
A different problem (maybe) here. In order to emerge thunderbird-5.0 I had to emerge -C enigmail. I thought maybe I might emerge enigmail after all was done, and when I try to do this, I get [ebuild N ] x11-plugins/enigmail-1.1.2-r3 USE="alsa dbus gnome libnotify -custom-optimization -debug -startup-notification -system-sqlite -wifi" [blocks B ] x11-plugins/enigmail ("x11-plugins/enigmail" is blocking mail-client/thunderbird-5.0) So at least for me, it appears that thunderbird-5.0 is not compatible with enigmail-1.1.2-r3.

This is the correct behavior, enigmail has been merged back into tb-5.0 just enable crypt useflag on enigmail and you are done.
Sounded simple, but it seems that my enigmail does know about crypt. I get this: [ebuild N ] x11-plugins/enigmail-1.1.2-r3 USE="alsa dbus gnome libnotify -custom-optimization -debug -startup-notification -system-sqlite -wifi" 0 kB [blocks B ] x11-plugins/enigmail ("x11-plugins/enigmail" is blocking mail-client/thunderbird-5.0)

Re: Comment #7, gpg-agent wasn't running. $ killall gpg-agent && gpg-agent --daemon gpg-agent: no process found If I manually start it with just: $ gpg-agent --daemon GPG_AGENT_INFO=/tmp/gpg-25yndI/S.gpg-agent:25438:1; export GPG_AGENT_INFO; I still get the 2 messages in thunderbird: "Could not start the gpg-agent program which is needed for your GnuPG version 2.0.17" "Enigmail: Error in accessing Enigmail service To permanently avoid this alert, either fix the problem or uninstall Enigmail. Click on the Help button for more details."
By default pgp-connect-agent and gpg-agent seem to use different socket paths: $ strace gpg-connect-agent -vv ... connect(3, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path="/home/<user>/.gnupg/S.gpg-agent"}, 35) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) ... $ gpg-agent --debug-all --daemon gpg-agent[19773]: reading options from `/home/<user>/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf' gpg-agent[19773]: enabled debug flags: command mpi crypto memory cache memstat hashing assuan gpg-agent[19773]: listening on socket `/tmp/gpg-GUT0s8/S.gpg-agent' GPG_AGENT_INFO=/tmp/gpg-GUT0s8/S.gpg-agent:19774:1; export GPG_AGENT_INFO; If that's the case, add the option "use-standard-socket" to your ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf or run gpg-agent with --use-standard-socket.

I have re-emerged thunderbird with the crypt use flag, and enigmail still fails with the same message.

Same here it complains of not finding GnuPG bit it is installed manually pointing it to /usr/bin/gpg or /usr/bin/gpg2 does not help at all .. going to -crypt as this is annoying!
I think this is the same bug as I get a blocking error with enigmail with thunderbird 5 [ebuild N ] x11-plugins/enigmail-1.1.2-r3 USE="alsa dbus gnome -custom-cflags -custom-optimization -debug -libnotify -startup-notification -system-sqlite -wifi" [blocks B ] x11-plugins/enigmail ("x11-plugins/enigmail" is blocking mail-client/thunderbird-5.0)

IIRC enigmail has been rolled into thunderbird 5. It appears that some patch that was previously applied to enigmail was not applied to thunderbird 5.
According to http://enigmail.mozdev.org/news/index.php.html#v12, Thunderbird 5.0 requires >=enigmail-1.2.

Same problem here. Starting gpg with # gpg-agent --use-standard-socket --daemon before starting Thunderbird 5 helped me out.
Starting gpg-agent manually works, because enigmail.js detects and uses the already running agent. I did some debugging, why enigmail does not autostart gpg-agent any more. I started my search with the /usr/lib64/thunderbird/extensions/{847b3a00-7ab1-11d4-8f02-006008948af5}/wrappers/gpg-agent-wrapper.sh script. Some echos revealed that this script is not executed at all from enigmail. So I continued my search for the bug in /usr/lib64/thunderbird/extensions/{847b3a00-7ab1-11d4-8f02-006008948af5}/components/enigmail.js. I inserted a lot of additional debug prints and enabled debugging, which led me to the exact failure point: in enigmail.js, the command at lines 1455-1457 (var installLoc = Components.classes.....) throws an exception. This code part is only executed when no running gpg-agent was found. It searches for the wrapper script and tries to execute it, but this point is never reached, because the above mentioned command to retrieve the installation directory of enigmail throws an exception, so the wrapper script cannot be found, and of course if the wrapper is not found it cannot be executed. Unfortunately, my JavaScript knowledge is too limited to further debug the problem, but I hope this can help somebody else to quickly fix this error.
It seems Gentoo is hitting this upstream bug: https://www.mozdev.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=24153 The bug is already closed, a fix is in cvs: http://www.mozdev.org/source/browse/enigmail/src/package/enigmail.js (Revision 1.300.2.1, http://www.mozdev.org/source/browse/~checkout~/enigmail/src/package/enigmail.js?rev=1.300.2.1;content-type=application%2Fjavascript). Unfortunately, this fix does not work for Gentoo. I tried the new enigmail.js, the problem still exists. The new code does not work for Gentoo, because "directoryService.get("ProfD", Components.interfaces.nsIFile);" returns the profile directory in the user's home. So it searches only there for enigmail, but in Gentoo, enigmail is installed system-wide. To fix this, nsIExtensionManager has to be replaced by the new AddonManager, but AddonManager is executed asynchronously, so there are more code corrections necessary. Perhaps it would be best, if somebody would re-open the upstream bug and let them fix it?
Created attachment 280843 [details, diff] Proposed fix to enigmail issue. This is a modified version of the diff provided by Martin Mokrejš (comment 5) in bug 374549 which should fix the gpg-agent issue. It does for me at least.

In thunderbird-6.0, enigmail was updated to 1.3, which contains the official fix. As already said, this fix does not work on gentoo because it searches the user's profile dir for enigmail. Unfortunately the proposed patch is for enigmail-1.2, which does not apply any more. Using "resource:app" does not seem to work any more either. So I exchanged ProfD for CurProcD in enigmail.js, which works here on my system with thunderbird-6.0.
Created attachment 284445 [details, diff] Exchanges ProfD for CurProcD in enigmail.js for thunderbird-6.0
Hello. I have this issue with thunderbird-6.0, and I didn't fully understand how to fix this on my machine... The issue appears when just clicking on any email, it is very annoying. Which exactly enigmail.js has to be modified? (I mean exchange ProfD for CurProcD) Is there anything I could do about this bug? Why is it still unconfirmed?

Hi Alexey, the file to modify is /usr/lib64/thunderbird/extensions/{847b3a00-7ab1-11d4-8f02-006008948af5}/components/enigmail.js (on an amd64 system, for 32Bit use /usr/lib/...). Why this bug is still unconfirmed after 2.5 months I can't understand either.
Thanks. That magically helped.
This bug is present in mail-client/thunderbird-7.0.1-r1::gentoo Path https://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=284445 solve the problem in my case. Please, fix this in main tree. Thanks.
Patch "Exchanges ProfD for CurProcD in enigmail.js for thunderbird-6.0" works well for me! (mail-client/thunderbird-7.0.1-r1 from mozilla overlay) Please, fix this in main tree - it terrible annoying bug!
Created attachment 292191 [details, diff] Slightly updated patch for newer thunderbird versions I changed the line numbers to get rid of the offset message when applying the patch to thunderbird 7 and 8.
Created attachment 292193 [details] Bash script to automatically fetch patch and apply it As I really hate patching every thunderbird installation on all my computers by hand (which includes copying the patch on every PC), I wrote this small bash script which downloads the current patch I uploaded before (292191) and applies it to the thunderbird installation. Simply run patchThunderbird as root, everything else should run automatically. /usr/lib should be present on x86 as well as amd64 systems (as a symlink to /usr/lib64), so this script should work on both x86 as well as amd64. As all my systems run amd64, I only have tested it on them with a freshly installed thunderbird-8, and it worked on all of them.

Dirting the enviroment is not the proper solution, I am testing the patch via the ebuild right now and will commit it to the tree as long as it does not break anything on my system.
> Dirting the enviroment is not the proper solution I totally agree with that. But as there was no one caring about this VERY ANNOYING problem in the last four months and keeping a local overlay ebuild in sync with the official ebuild is far more work intensive, I had to come up with a better temporary solution ;) I'm glad to hear that this will be fixed in the official tree soon :)

Support for epatch_user has been in place for a long time. If I can get a couple reports within next 8 hours I will get it commited in portage tree as well.

I did not know that something like that is possible with portage. I always fiddled around with ebuild copies in my own overlay. Thanks for pointing this out. I changed the path entries in my patch to reflect the directory structure in /var/tmp/portage/mail-client/thunderbird, copied it to /etc/portage/patches/mail-client/thunderbird and remerged thunderbird. It produces correct results on my machines.
Fixed in tb-8, I did not revision bump so you will need to reinstall if you are effected.
