[Impact]
Some users have reported problems with corrupted keyrings, both in Gnome and
KDE, when newlines are included in the password. This makes all
launchpadlib-based apps unusable for affected users.
The corruption occurs because launchpadlib attempts to store a multi-
line value in the keyring, but the keyring service appears to assume
values are single-lined, so chokes when it encounters launchpadlib's
entries.
[Workaround]
Delete the keyring (e.g. via 'seahorse') prior to running a
launchpadlib-based script.
[Development Fix]
- Upstream version 1.9.12 resolves the issue by base64 encoding the serialized
value:
+ Upstream version 1.9.12 resolves the issue (and another related bug involving
unicode data) by base64 encoding the serialized value:
- Properly handle Unicode passwords if returned by the keyring.
- Base 64 encode serialized credentials before putting in keyring/wallet.
[Stable Fix]
For the SRU to natty and oneiric, it is proposed to cherrypick the encoding
change to credentials.py and its associated test code in
test_credential_store.py.
[Test Case]
- 1. Run a launchpadlib client that uses the keyring. For example, run
'lp-shell' and after authorization examine lp.me.
+ 1. Run a launchpadlib client that uses the keyring
2. [Optional] Open the key in seahorse, (and optionally ensure there is a
newline) then close seahorse
3. Run the same launchlib client a second time
- 4. A "ConfigParser.NoOptionError" will be printed
+ 4. Affected users will see a "ConfigParser.NoOptionError" printed
[Regression Potential]
Low/none. When there is a corrupted key ring entry, this just reauthorizes
and overwrite the old entry, same as if it had expired.
[Original Report]
Running lp:svammel to do a dry run mass bugfiling against LP, I get prompted
to authorize my system to connect to launchpad, which is neat. But on a
subsequent invocation of the tool, it fails with:
Traceback (most recent call last):

At James Westby's suggestion, I had a peek inside gnome-keyring with
seahorse and found this as the 'password' value of the 'network
password' token:
[1]
Presumably there should be a real password here instead. :)
People experiencing this problem can work around it by opening their
gnome keyring, and deleting the broken password.
