Re: [Enigmail] Debian Jessie only offers Enigmail 1.8.2, is it safe to install 1.9.5 from Sid?

It still doesn't work.

With 1.9.6 I'm getting the errors again:

gpg: WARNING: The GNOME keyring manager hijacked the GnuPG agent.
gpg: WARNING: GnuPG will not work properly - please configure that tool
to not interfere with the GnuPG system!

We've been thruough this two months ago, you and DKG came up with this:

You're asking the wrong mailing list - Enigmail does not create packages
for any Linux distribution. You'd have to ask the Debian maintainers.

However, if you have Thunderbird 38 or newer on Jessie, you can
uninstall the Enigmail package provided by Debian and install the
official release from the Enigmail web site.


That's what I did.

I even tried commentsab...@riseup.net's solution from this morning - no 
success.


Since July I've been fiddling with this. So I must assume that it has 
got something to do with my system which is Linux Mint Debian Edition 
2.0 (it's a Jessie-based distro) and TB 45.4.0.


I give up on this and will continue to TOX and XMPP/OTR my private stuff.

I'd be grateful if Enigmail could be kept somewhat up-to-date in the repos.

I finally gave up on this last night.

1.) There is no $HOME/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf, instead I found
$HOME/.gnupg/gpg.conf
2.) There is no usr/bin/pinentry-gtk2, instead there is
usr/bin/pinentry-gtk-2


Then I've found two symlinks from/to pinentry:

1.) from /usr/bin/pinentry to /etc/alternatives/pinentry
2.) from /etc/alternatives/pinentry to /usr/bin/pinentry-gtk-2


This may or may not be specific to Linux Mint Debian Edition - I've had
enough of this and didn't want to end up in an endless handicraft work.
So I went back to Enigmail 1.8.2 from the official repo.


Thanks anyway.

Markus

You'll have to be careful to make sure that gpg2 won't issue by default
the "session hijacked" error. Otherwise, you'll have thousands of users
who'll need help. Apart from this, I see no issue doing so.

hm, maybe we should try to upgrade enigmail in jessie to 1.9.5 to track
thunderbird's changes.  I can provide a backport easily, and we could
talk to the release team about an update within the next point-release.

Patrick, Willi, any thoughts about this course of action?

The message says it all. GNOME keyring hijacked the GnuPG agent - the
only long-term resolution is that you follow our FAQ to fix this
permanently.

I'm using TB 45.3 from the Debian repo.

Well, the upgrade to Enigmail 1.9.5 installed properly, but now I'm
getting again

gpg: WARNING: The GNOME keyring manager hijacked the GnuPG agent.
gpg: WARNING: GnuPG will not work properly - please configure that tool
to not interfere with the GnuPG system!

So Enigmail 1.8.2 does work, 1.9.5 doesn't...

If you want to take a look at it, I uploaded the log to
http://gpg.dark-vatta.net/em160912.txt

Thanks in advance.

It depends on the Thunderbird version. If you are using Thunderbird 38,
then you better stick with Enigmail 1.8.2. If you are using Thunderbird
45 or newer, you can upgrade to Enigmail 1.9.5.

If you want to use the version from AMO, you first have to uninstall the
Debian version, otherwise you'll have two versions of Enigmail
installed, and none will work properly.

[Enigmail] Debian Jessie only offers Enigmail 1.8.2, is it safe to install 1.9.5 from Sid?

2016-09-11 Thread Vatta
I'm running Linux Mint Debian Edition 2 which is based on Jessie and so
on its repos.

That repo only contains a pretty outdated version of Enigmail, 1.8.2.
Did try to install the standard 1.9.5 add-on from AMO, but that doesn't
work at all (guess the Debian team has made some significant changes to it).

Now I found Enigmail 1.9.5 in the Sid repos and at least the GDebi
Package Manager tells me that it would install without any problems, not
even warnings.

Given the fact that Enigmail 1.9.* doesn't contain any binaries anymore:
Can I go for it or should I not even think about doing that? ;-) (I'm
really not in the mood for a TB/Enigmail recovery)

@Daniel Kahn Gillmor: You're listed at one of the Maintainers on this
page: https://packages.debian.org/sid/enigmail.
Is there any reason why the Jessie repos don't get updated with the
latest Enigmail version?

Thanks in advance & best regards

Markus
