Package: gpgsm
Version: 2.0.3-1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/gpgsm-gencert.sh
I am not sure how is it supposed to work (as documentation is very brief),
and I don't seem to have any configuration or pre-set settings.
To reproduce a problem, simply run the script:
choose RSA key,
choose 2048bit long,
choose sign,encrypt
enter DN name like: C=US,CN=MyName
enter some email
eventually choose to really create such CSR.
it won't produce anything at the end (contrary to what manual says).
After some inspection I noticed that communication with "gpgsm --server"
process produces the following:
OK GNU Privacy Guard's S/M server 2.0.3 ready
ERR 50331923 Unknown IPC command <GpgSM>
OK
ERR 50331926 No input source for IPC <GpgSM>
OK closing connection
The $file_parameter file (/tmp/gpgsm.xxxxx) seems fine,
but the $outfile (another /tmp/gpgsm.xxxxx) is empty.
I see that script uses sh heavily, so I switched off dash,
then it produces the following:
OK GNU Privacy Guard's S/M server 2.0.3 ready
OK
OK
gpgsm: line 1: key generation failed: Unknown IPC command
gpgsm: error creating certificate request: Unknown IPC command
ERR 50331923 Unknown IPC command <GpgSM>
OK closing connection
I guess some protocol has been changed and this script was not updated to
incorporate changes, and still it would be nice if it worked better with dash.
