Bug 57881 – Incompatibility between libgcrypt and gpgme

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Bryan Childs 2004-07-21 11:54:20 UTC]

With the current versions of gnupg, newpg and libgcrypt that I have emerged on my installation, I'm not able to successfully emerge gpgme (required for things like seahorse and other gpg front ends) without running into the following compilation error :

if gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../.. -I../../gpgme    -O3 -march=athlon-xp -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -I/usr/include -Wall -Wcast-align -Wshadow -Wstrict-prototypes -MT t-genkey.o -MD -MP -MF ".deps/t-genkey.Tpo" \
  -c -o t-genkey.o `test -f 't-genkey.c' || echo './'`t-genkey.c; \
then mv -f ".deps/t-genkey.Tpo" ".deps/t-genkey.Po"; \
else rm -f ".deps/t-genkey.Tpo"; exit 1; \
fi

If I try to make the symbolic link to libgcrypt.so.1 manually, then gpgsm seg faults...

That's about it - email me if you have more questions :)



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge the packages I've outlined above (at those versions)
2. attempt to emerge gpgme
3. watch it go wrong

Actual Results:  
As described in the description, the build fails because the test of gpgsm
doesn't work properly.

Expected Results:  
Installed correctly by successfully building gpgme.

None at the moment.

Doing gpgme overvamp in bug #57193. gpgsm (smime) I'm going to delay until gnupg can get stable.

[Comment 2 Wim Uyttebroek 2004-08-21 07:14:16 UTC]

Same problem here.

But I can install gpgme, when I first install an old
version of libgcrypt (libgcrypt-1.1.12.ebuild).

[Comment 3 Neil Katin 2004-09-20 22:59:24 UTC]

I see this problem too, both with gpgme-0.4.0 and gpgme-0.9.0-r1.

I tried the workaround in comment #2; it worked for me.

GPGME seems to be hard coded to look for libgcrypt.so.1; the newer
libgcrypt-1.1.91 and beyond install libgcrypt.so.7 and libgcrypt.so.11.
libgcrypt-1.1.12.ebuild generates libgcrypt.so.1 which is why it works.

So either libgcrypt should use slots or it should force a rebuild of
the dependent packages.

Looking further, bug 60211 might be the answer, since the file that
is failing (gpgsm) is in the newpg package, which seems to have been
removed from the portage tree and orphaned.

I unmerged newpg and then the emerge of gpgme worked OK.

[Comment 4 Mark E. Drummond 2004-09-21 14:00:51 UTC]

Same result for me. Uninstalling newpg allowed gpgme to install fine. Not sure if that is going to have any side effects or not.

Re: comment #4 from Mark about side effects of uninstalling newpg: you
lose S/MIME support.  If you need S/MIME then that's pretty serious.
Personally I don't know anyone who does, so I couldn't care less...

[Comment 6 Daniel Black (RETIRED) 2004-09-22 01:51:48 UTC]

newpg is replaced with app-crypt/gnupg-1.9+. This is still under development so use at your own risk. There are reports that it is still missing part of the functionality in the gnupg-1.2* series.

gpgme-0.9.0-r20 has some very untested smime support if you want to give that a go. If you get it working great (i'd like to know). If it needed modification to get it working please tell me how and I'll introduce your fix.

There are harsher warning about using gnupg-1.9+ than my half warning here.So let me state more clearly: if you want to use it, make sure your job and life doesn't depend on it.

Fixed by the removal of newpg from gentoo. Users will need to remove newpg. Thanks to everyone for their contribution to the solution.
