[gentoo-user] [OT] gnupg upgraded, problems arised

[Andrew Gaydenko]

Hi!

After yesterday syncing (~amd64) gnupg package was upgraded (and
de-slotted). Now - via KMail, KGpg, gpg CLI - my long-used password
suddenly become a 'bad passphrase'. I have tried reimport keys without
any success.

Any hints?

Just want to add, after masking >= 2.0 and downgrading to slotted
1.4.x and 1.9.x all works fine.

I'm still running 1.4.x and 1.9.x so I haven't run into the issue yet.

Actually, since you've given me the heads-up, I'll not be doing my normal 
(semi-daily) system update today, as I can't spend any time on the issue 
(today).  If you can reproduce the error, please file a bug and let me 
know the number so I can add myself to the CC list, and possibly add more 
information as I have time.

Any news on this?  I'd like to upgrade to gnupg-2.0*, but I don't want to 
lose access to my existing keys.  Does a bug exist?

/me goes bug searching.

I didn't find a bug filed, although there was one for the need (or lack 
thereof) to slot gnupg-2.0.x...

Anyway, I uninstalled gnupg-1.4.x and gnupg-1.9.x and installed 
gnupg-2.0.x.  I then shut down my agent(s) and any other programs that 
might be using the old gnupg libraries (like kmail).

At this point, I'm not running gnupg-2.0.x and my old passphrase continues 
to work.

You need to install pinentry.

It *isn't* a reason. 'pinentry' is (well, was. Now I have downgraded gnupg)
installed, password is requested, but is "wrong".

OK - you have a slightly different problem to the rest of us... good
luck :)
