Description Robin Johnson archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2007-01-03 05:46:34 UTC
This bug is a tracker for all GnuPG2 migration issues.
Previously we had BOTH GnuPG 1.4 and GnuPG 1.9 installed on systems, and in future there will be only GnuPG 2.0.

See 159623 (seahorse) for an example of the changes that MIGHT be neccisary. Seahorse hardcoded checks for 1.2 and 1.4, and thus failed on GnuPG 2.0. There was a check in the configure script, as well as inside the seahorse-agent code.

There are no other changes that are required, as the 1.* interface is preserved in 2.0.

app-crypt/gnupg-2.0.1-r2 breaks smartcard support.  google doesn't provide any useful info.

Mike:
Can you please open a new bug for this issue?
And try to add verbose to ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf

GnuPG-2.0 badly works with net-im/psi-0.10.2. The problem is that when psi wants to ask the passphrase, it (psi) shows the dialog box with entry for the passphrase. But gnupg shows its own dialog box at the same time (I suppose, the reason is that the command line option for reading passphrase from file descriptor has changed in gnupg-2.0). The passphrase entered in Psi's dialog box is ignored by GnuPG. One can enter the passphrase into the GnuPG's dialog box, but it is not saved, so GnuPG will ask for it again and again.

I think we can close this now... :)
Seems alright.
