Bug#280175: further Kmail/SMIME/Crypto commentary...
Further commentary: this looks like it may be an aegypten problem, and not directly in kmail -- I see this issue being specifically tracked in the aegypten-II bugtracker (lost the URL, sorry). Furthermore, the S/MIME howto no longer works properly -- the codebases in that howto require a version of libassuan not currently in debian (even unstable) requiring a manual build of (now) 3 packages (libassuan, libksba, and gnupg-1.9.x) to make this work. This makes Kmail crypto in Debian increasingly unworkable. I've not seen any ITPs for gnupg-1.9.x (or at least the gpg-agent part of the package) recently, which would push towards resolving this issue. Whether or not packaging "beta code" would be a Good Idea is something that might want to be addressed. Managing this issue for people who can't or don't want to use gpg-agent as part of their crypto setup should probably be strong addressed with the (Kmail upstream), as well as their wish to force downstream users to use beta/non-production code from a utility that they require. Personally, for me as a user, this kind of a bug would be a show-stopper in a heavy production environment. Having to rebuild 3 packages to get properly functioning crypto in my MUA is absolutely unacceptable. Likewise is having to use a development code base for a security-sensitive application like GnuPG. pgplm6LgPmE88.pgp Description: PGP signature
Bug#280175: kmail refuses to decrypt OpenPGP/MIME without gpg-agent
Reading the thread in the KDE bugtracker, it appears the upstream maintainers wish to force us to use the 1.9 branch of OpenPGP, which is tagged by the OpenPGP upstream as development/beta code. Furthermore, that code isn't currently included in Debian. This presents a serious problem for this package. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
