Package: kgpg
Version: 4:3.5.8-1
Severity: normal
--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
When working with e.g. the keyserver onak 0.3.5-1 available in Debian,
kgpg fails to parse the keyids of a search because onak returns
40-nibble keyids instead of the more usual 8-nibble keyids.
Kgpg then extracts the 8 *first* nibbles of the long keyid
instead of either leaving the long keyid as such or (less preferable)
to extract the 8 *last* nibbles of the long keyid.
Note that other keyservers could return a 16-nibble keyid as it's also
a valid value for a keyid for gpg.
I guess the best patch is to leave the full keyid as returned
by the keyserver
Example:
onak returns this string:
1024 bit DSA key 440A3A9E56E9D90E99D763A87A135F579AD7E3DB, created:
2002-05-05
while e.g. wwwkeys.pgp.net returns
1024 bit DSA key 9AD7E3DB, created: 2002-05-05
The problem is that kgpg considers in the first case that
the keyid is 440A3A9E instead of 9AD7E3DB
The faulty code is the following:
kservers.cpp line 317:
QString kid=subkey.section(" key ",1,1);
kid=kid.stripWhiteSpace();
=> kid=kid.left(8);
kitem->setText(3,kid);
QString creation=subkey.section("created",1,1);
I'm sorry but I don't master qt or c++ so I cannot provide a patch
but in regex we need:
/^([a-zA-Z0-9]{8})+/
or if you really want to get only 8, 16 and 40-nibble keyids
(but which server would return other values??):
/^(([a-zA-Z0-9]{24})?[a-zA-Z0-9]{8})?[a-zA-Z0-9]{8}/
