bug#13193: 24.3.50; EasyPG with Gnupg set up to use card reader; handling card not inserted

[Adam Sjøgren]

I have Gnupg set up to use a card reader which holds my private key.

When I try to sign a region with EasyPG (starting "emacs -Q" and using
M-x epa-sign-region), and haven't inserted my card in the reader, I get
an error:

  Signing...done
  epa-sign-region: Wrong type argument: stringp, nil

And the region is cut (i.e. disappears).

If I M-x toggle-debug-on-error, the backtrace is this:

  Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil)
    epa--decode-coding-string(nil utf-8-unix)
    epa-sign-region(192 197 nil clear)
    call-interactively(epa-sign-region record nil)
    command-execute(epa-sign-region record)
    execute-extended-command(nil "epa-sign-region")
    call-interactively(execute-extended-command nil nil)

If I enable epg-debug, I get this in the  *epg-debug* buffer:

  /usr/bin/gpg --no-tty --status-fd 1 --yes --use-agent --enable-progress-filter --command-fd 0 --output /tmp/epg-output10115pYs --clearsign
  [GNUPG:] PROGRESS stdin ? 0 0
  [GNUPG:] BEGIN_SIGNING
  [GNUPG:] PROGRESS stdin ? 5 0
  [GNUPG:] CARDCTRL 4
  gpg: selecting openpgp failed: unknown command
  gpg: signing failed: general error
  gpg: [stdin]: clearsign failed: general error

I was expecting a message telling me that the card was unavailable, that
I should insert it, or something similar - and that the region was still
presence when an error occurred.

If I insert the card and try M-x epa-sign-region again, a pinentry
window pops up, and the region is signed as expected. The output in the
*epg-debug* buffer is then:

  /usr/bin/gpg --no-tty --status-fd 1 --yes --use-agent --enable-progress-filter --command-fd 0 --output /tmp/epg-output101922Sm --clearsign
  [GNUPG:] PROGRESS stdin ? 0 0
  [GNUPG:] BEGIN_SIGNING
  [GNUPG:] PROGRESS stdin ? 5 0
  [GNUPG:] CARDCTRL 3 
  [GNUPG:] SIG_CREATED C 1 2 01 1355578571 C40B1B7D09A9326AFD181FB7B728D4441E65DD19

Perhaps the 'CARDCTRL 4' can be used to distinguish the cases?

I found this doing a quick search on GnuPG and CARDCTRL:

   "CARDCTRL <what> [<serialno>]
        This is used to control smartcard operations.
        Defined values for WHAT are:
           1 = Request insertion of a card.  Serialnumber may be given
               to request a specific card.
           2 = Request removal of a card.
           3 = Card with serialnumber detected
           4 = No card available.
           5 = No card reader available"

       - http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-devel/2005-June/022091.html

Let me know if I can assist by testing or trying to add some code
(please point me towards the right function, in that case).

I am using gpg (GnuPG) 1.4.12.

Thanks!

(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved

vaguely remember reading somebody writing about this and that it worked.

Are you still seeing this issue in recent Emacs versions?

I cannot reproduce the problem now, so this bug can be closed.
