Moved by Roland's requests, I've broken Enigmail in a fresh VM. And I'd appreciate some advice about how to fix it.
I installed Thunderbird and Enigmail in a Debian 9.5 x64 VM with Gnome. Using Enigmail Key Management, I tried to get rjh's 1DCBDC01B44427C7 from pool.sks-keyservers.net, but that just timed out. So I downloaded it via HTTPS. And it was ~60MB. I tried importing from the downloaded file, but that went nowhere. With 100% CPU. So I got it from https://keybase.io/rjh and imported from clipboard in Enigmail Key Management. That worked just fine. So then I tried refreshing keys in Enigmail, leaving pool.sks-keyservers.net as the default keyserver. And that failed, complaining about no dirmngr. Then I tried refreshing keys with gpg in terminal, and got the same error about no dirmngr. Then I deleted rjh's key, and got my own from Keybase, and imported it. But when I tried refreshing keys, I got the same error about no dirmngr. So gpg must still work, because I can import and delete keys via Enigmail. But something seems borked about dirmngr. I guess that I'll try purging and reinstalling. Or is there a better fix? And yes, I should have tested everything first with a clean key, before messing with rjh's key. Is it likely that I borked dirmngr during the intital attempt to get it from pool.sks-keyservers.net? _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
