Description Andrew John Hughes 2008-04-20 20:40:25 UTC
Attempting to sign a mail with mutt gives:

Can't open PGP subprocess!: No such file or directory (errno = 2)

Using strace and ltrace to find the source of this message shows it coming from the gpgme library.  Re-emerging gpgme hasn't helped.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a mail.
2.Enter p and s to sign it. 
3.Hit y to send, enter the passphrase.

Actual Results:  
gpgme fails to fork a copy of gpg


Expected Results:  
gpgme runs gpg which signs the mail

Comment 1 Alon Bar-Lev (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-04-20 21:52:16 UTC
Which gpg version do you use?
Which gpgme version do you use?
Looking that the strace, which exec fails?
Comment 2 Robin Johnson archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2008-04-20 22:06:07 UTC
Please include the relevant portions of your mutt config (I use it directly, not via gpgme).

Comment 3 Andrew John Hughes 2008-04-21 21:53:47 UTC
app-crypt/gpgme-1.1.6
app-crypt/gnupg-2.0.7-r1
mail-client/mutt-1.5.16  USE="berkdb crypt gdbm gnutls gpgme idn imap mbox nls nntp pop sasl smime smtp ssl"

I haven't added anything specified to my mutt config.  Given this has a USE flag and no instruction were given, I assumed it would work out of the box as it does on Debian.
Comment 4 Andrew John Hughes 2008-04-28 20:46:16 UTC
I just copied across the following from a Debian machine and it works:

# GnuPG configuration
set pgp_decode_command="gpg --status-fd=2 %?p?--passphrase-fd 0? --no-verbose --quiet --batch --output - %f"
set pgp_verify_command="gpg   --status-fd=2 --no-verbose --quiet  --batch  --output - --verify %s %f"
set pgp_decrypt_command="gpg   --status-fd=2 %?p?--passphrase-fd 0? --no-verbose --quiet  --batch  --output - %f"
set pgp_sign_command="gpg    --no-verbose --batch --quiet   --output - %?p?--passphrase-fd 0? --armor --detach-sign --textmod\
e %?a?-u %a? %f"
set pgp_clearsign_command="gpg --no-verbose --batch --quiet --output - %?p?--passphrase-fd 0? --armor --textmode --clearsign \
%?a?-u %a? %f"
set pgp_encrypt_only_command="/usr/lib/mutt/pgpewrap gpg --batch --quiet --no-verbose --output - --encrypt --textmode --armor\
 --always-trust -- -r %r -- %f"
set pgp_encrypt_sign_command="/usr/lib/mutt/pgpewrap gpg %?p?--passphrase-fd 0? --batch --quiet --no-verbose --textmode --out\
put - --encrypt --sign %?a?-u %a? --armor --always-trust -- -r %r -- %f"
set pgp_import_command="gpg  --no-verbose --import %f"
set pgp_export_command="gpg   --no-verbose --export --armor %r"
set pgp_verify_key_command="gpg   --verbose --batch  --fingerprint --check-sigs %r"
set pgp_list_pubring_command="gpg   --no-verbose --batch --quiet   --with-colons --list-keys %r"
set pgp_list_secring_command="gpg   --no-verbose --batch --quiet   --with-colons --list-secret-keys %r"
set pgp_good_sign="^\\[GNUPG:\\] GOODSIG"

Can I suggest we have a better default configuration for Mutt so everyone doesn't have to manually configure GPG support?
Comment 5 Fernando J. Pereda (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-06-07 16:07:24 UTC
No. We provide what upstream provides. gpg.rc is certainly provided by the ebuild.
