Bug ID: 324963 Summary: general error on sending GPG encrypted mail after telling KMail to use untrusted key Classification: Unclassified Product: kmail2 Version: 4.10.5 Platform: Debian unstable OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: crypto Assignee: kdepim-bugs@kde.org Reporter: mar...@lichtvoll.de Since "[Bug 44699] can't encrypt with gpg if the receiver's key is not signed" is fixed, KMail allows to send mails to untrusted keys. This worked for quite some time. But recently I needed to send to untrusted key again and after confirming to KMail that I want to use that untrusted key, entered the passphrase I got a general error message that doesn´t tell much about the cause of the error. Setting the key trust to fully trusted makes KMail sign and encrypt the mail just fine. This has security implications as it user can only work-around it by setting a key to trusted they may not have had a chance to verify yet. This might be a duplicate of Bug 322708 - kmail should allow encrypting mails with keys of unknown/zero trust but since this bug doesn´t contain any detailed information, I don´t know for sure. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Sign and encrypt mail to a key that you do not fully trust. 2. Tell KMail to use that key nonetheless. 3. Enter your GPG key passphrase. Actual Results: "Fehler beim Erstellen der Nachricht: Allgemeiner Fehler" translated: "Error while creating mail: General error" Expected Results: 1) Sending to uncrypted mails works. 2) Any occurence of "general error" is replaced by an error message that is more descriptive than that (I can file another bug report for that one if needed) martin@merkaba:~> apt-show-versions | egrep "(kmail|akonadi|gpg|gnupg)" akonadi-backend-mysql:all/unknown 1.9.2-2 uptodate akonadi-backend-sqlite:amd64/unknown 1.9.2-2+b1 uptodate akonadi-server:amd64/unknown 1.9.2-2+b1 uptodate akonadiconsole:amd64/unknown 4:4.10.5-2 uptodate gnupg:amd64/unknown 1.4.14-1 uptodate gnupg-agent:amd64/unknown 2.0.21-2 uptodate gnupg2:amd64/unknown 2.0.21-2 uptodate gpgsm:amd64/unknown 2.0.21-2 uptodate gpgv:amd64/unknown 1.4.14-1 uptodate kgpg:amd64/unknown 4:4.10.5-1 uptodate kmail:amd64/unknown 4:4.10.5-2 uptodate libakonadi-calendar4:amd64/unknown 4:4.10.5-1 uptodate libakonadi-contact4:amd64/unknown 4:4.10.5-1 uptodate libakonadi-kabc4:amd64/unknown 4:4.10.5-1 uptodate libakonadi-kcal4:amd64/unknown 4:4.10.5-1 uptodate libakonadi-kde4:amd64/unknown 4:4.10.5-1 uptodate libakonadi-kmime4:amd64/unknown 4:4.10.5-1 uptodate libakonadi-notes4:amd64/unknown 4:4.10.5-1 uptodate libakonadiprotocolinternals1:amd64/unknown 1.9.2-2+b1 uptodate libgnupg-interface-perl:all/unknown 0.46-3 uptodate libgpg-error-dev:amd64/unknown 1.12-0.2 uptodate libgpg-error0:amd64/unknown 1.12-0.2 uptodate libgpgme++2:amd64/unknown 4:4.10.5-1 uptodate libgpgme11:amd64/unknown 1.4.3-0.1 uptodate libgpgme11-dev:amd64/unknown 1.4.3-0.1 uptodate libqgpgme1:amd64/unknown 4:4.10.5-1 uptodate python-gpgme:amd64/unknown 0.2-3 uptodate (this are all from Debian Unstable, dunno why apt-show-versions doesn´t detect it correctly) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ Kdepim-bugs mailing list Kdepim-bugs@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kdepim-bugs
