hi all, i recently installed lenny on an older machine which was previously running ubuntu. in ubuntu, i had everything setup so that my GPG key passphrase was saved in seahorse, and whenever i sent an e-mail in thunderbird, enigmail would grab the key from seahorse and sign and/or encrypt my message.
i've extracted from a backup my ~/.mozilla-thunderbird, ~/.gnome2/keyrings, and ~/.gnupg directories to the new lenny installation. in seahorse-preferences, i can see two keyrings: default and login (login being the one that was replaced from the backup). i changed the password for the login keyring to match my system password. after re-logging in, in seahorse i can now see all my GPG keys, and, in the 'passwords' tab, i can see that it has my PGP key passphrase. indeed, i can go to the properties of this item and see that it does have the correct password stored. however, over in thunderbird (or icedove, rather), when i go to send a message, i receive a 'bad passphrase' error: enigmail> /usr/bin/gpg --charset utf8 --no-use-agent --batch --no-tty --status-f d 2 -a -t -e --trust-model always --encrypt-to 0xDBBDF2A0 -r 0xDBBDF2A0 -u 0xDBB DF2A0 gpg: 0xDBBDF2A0: skipped: public key already present enigmail> /usr/bin/gpg --charset utf8 --no-use-agent --batch --no-tty --status-f d 2 --digest-algo sha256 -a -t -e -s --trust-model always --encrypt-to 0xDBBDF2A 0 -r 0xDBBDF2A0 -u 0xDBBDF2A0 --passphrase-fd 0 --no-use-agent gpg: skipped "0xDBBDF2A0": bad passphrase gpg: [stdin]: sign+encrypt failed: bad passphrase enigmail.js: Enigmail.encryptMessageEnd: Error in command execution i've successfully done this transfer between ubuntu machines over the years, so i'm not sure what i missed. enigmail should communicate with seahorse to get the passphrase. is it a matter of the different versions of the applications that ubuntu/debian use? thanks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-security-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
