Description Matt Whitlock 2016-12-13 06:21:03 UTC
kwalletd5 fails to open existing wallets when running with dev-libs/libgcrypt-1.7.4.

I have reported the issue upstream: <https://bugs.gnupg.org/gnupg/issue2870>

Perhaps kde-frameworks/kwallet should RDEPEND on "!=dev-libs/libgcrypt-1.7.4" to save users from losing access to their wallets and being confused as to why.
Comment 1 Neil Bothwick 2016-12-13 08:59:37 UTC
The same happens here, going back to 1.7.3 restores the situation.

Comment 2 Fabio Coatti 2016-12-13 10:05:41 UTC
Same issue here, reverting to 1.7.3 fixes kdewallet. Pretty scare one, this buglet :)
Comment 3 Matt Whitlock 2016-12-14 01:56:15 UTC
Upstream has confirmed this as a bug in libgcrypt 1.7.4. I really think a blocker should be added — if not an outright hard mask.

Agreed.

Fix the regression

Add this patch and it should fix your problem. I will submit to upstream (if no one already did). Tested with gnupg (I had the same warning).

Basically, a test in the autoconf script uses EGAIN (which doesn't exist) instead of EAGAIN. The test in question will detect broken mlock which require root on some systems and core otherwise. But because it doesn't compile, it thinks that mlock is broken so it can only be used with root.
Comment 6 Nicolas Porcel 2016-12-15 00:55:37 UTC
I couldn't post anything on the bug tracker so I sent an email to the maintainer. If anyone can please do.

I posted a comment on the upstream report.
Comment 8 Matt Whitlock 2016-12-15 08:02:06 UTC
Upstream has committed the fix, which will be included in libgcrypt 1.7.5.

Thank you for the report and good upstream contact. 1.7.5 is expected to be released today so will include it in Gentoo ebuild repository and remove 1.7.4 once it hits
