Yeah, that is the canonical name for the IP addressed used for
https://versions.gnupg.org.  Dirmngr downloads two files with the
current version numbers asn a signature for the former.  This is done at
random intervals.

So it seems things are working now but somthing is fishy with the
firewall, network setup?  If that happens again you can enable more
logging by putting

--8<---cut here---start->8---
log-file /somewhere/on/your/windowsbox/dirmngr.log
verbose
debug ipc,network,dns
--8<---cut here---end--->8---

into the dirmngr.conf file (in the homedirectory ("gpg --version" shows
it), and restart dirmngr.

To force an actual download of the files you need to use

  loadswdb --force

at the gpg-connect-agent command line.

Chek whether the dirmngr process is already running.  If that is the
case kill it and run 

  gpg-connect-agent --dirmngr --verbose

It should tell you that it is trying to start dirmngr and you might see
the reason for a problem.  Watch out for firewall warnings; the GnuPG
components use TCP connections to localhost to emaulate Unix
localsockets.  The Windows firewall and other software may want to block
them.

Use 

  gpgconf --query-swdb gnupg

> C:\>gpg-connect-agent --dirmngr 'loadswdb --force' /bye

Windows does not support ' as quote.  Thus use

   gpg-connect-agent --dirmngr "loadswdb --force" /bye

or just 

   gpg-connect-agent --dirmngr

and enter the command on the command line.  FWIW: Using

  help loadswdb

gives some info.  You leave the command line mode with "bye".

They exists but give kind of syntax errors. In the meantime I closed the
gpgv.exe console (annoying on your primary workhorse) so I would
probably have to check how these commands behave when the gpgv.exe pops
up next time.

C:\>gpgconf --query-swdb
usage: gpgconf --query-swdb NAME [VERSION]

C:\>gpg-connect-agent --dirmngr 'loadswdb --force' /bye

if it's dirmngr invoking gpgv, then it's likely being triggered by
dirmngr's attempt to check that the latest version of gpg is available.

Can you run the following commands from cmd.exe successfully?

gpgconf --query-swdb
gpg-connect-agent --dirmngr 'loadswdb --force' /bye

that might help you to debug the problem a bit more directly than
dealing with enigmail in the loop.

Re: [Enigmail] gpgv

2018-04-19 Thread Andy Weber 
Hi Enigmailers,

So I saw the issue below happen on my installation (TB 52.7.0, GPG
2.2.4, Enigmail 2.0.2 (20180411-1619), forced Enigmail mode) now for the
3rd time since the first 2.0 release. It showd up again out of nowhere
since I wasn't even actively using TB at that time. So here's some digging:

The process seems to be spawned by dirmngr.exe, ptree looks like this:

+ "C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuPG\bin\dirmngr.exe" --daemon --homedir
C:/Users//AppData/Roaming/gnupg
    + dirmngr.exe (Suspended and fails to resume)
    + "C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuPG\bin\gpgv.exe"
--enable-special-filenames --status-fd=2 --keyring "C:\Program Files
(x86)\GnuPG\share\gnupg\distsigkey.gpg" -- -&1072 -
    + \??\C:\WINDOWS\system32\conhost.exe 0x4

Thunderbird then also has two stuck gpg.exe subprocesses:

+ "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe"
    + "C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuPG\bin\gpg.exe" --charset utf-8
--display-charset utf-8 --no-auto-check-trustdb --batch --no-tty
--status-fd 2 --keyserver hkps.pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys 
    + \??\C:\WINDOWS\system32\conhost.exe 0x4 (no visible DOS box
for this one)
    + "C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuPG\bin\gpg.exe" --charset utf-8
--display-charset utf-8 --no-auto-check-trustdb --batch --no-tty
--status-fd 2 --keyserver-options auto-key-retrieve --keyserver
pool.sks-keyservers.net --sender  --verify
C:\\UsersAppData\\Local\\Temp\\data-28.sig -
    + \??\C:\WINDOWS\system32\conhost.exe 0x4 (no visible DOS box
for this one)

Executing either command in a shell in parallel to TB's just hangs
indefinitely until I kill the outer dirmngr.exe and all it's
descendants. After that the two gpg.exe subprocesses of TB also finish
up within seconds.

Hope that helps in circling the culprit. It kind of looks like Onno
Ekker was right: "Maybe it's got something to do with updating the keys
in the keyring".

Hi,

My first time posting here and I'm not sure if this is an Enigmail
problem or a gpg problem but ever since Enigmail upgraded itself to v2.0
(and now to v2.0.1) I notice that every once in a while (maybe about a
week interval) I see a copy of gpgv.exe running in the task bar. I
clicked on it and it's just a blank screen with the cursor in the top
left hand corner.  No text at all except for the normal window headers.
It just sits there for hours.

So I guess my question is what's it trying to do?  Is it needed?  Can I
turn it off?  I'm in need of an education.

I'm running Windows 7 with GnuPG 2.2.4. The version you get with GPG4WIN.

If anyone can point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it.

Thanks!

Jim

There is no single call to gpgv in Enigmail. Enigmail would only call
gpg.exe. Gpgv can only be used to verify signatures.

I've noticed the same thing on Windows 10. Haven't found what caused it
either, it seems a bit random… Maybe it's got something to do with updating
keys in the keyring, since that also happens randomly?
