Subject: bug#1471: 23.0.60; Visiting GnuPG-encrypted file yields "file exists, but cannot be read"
Date: Tue, 02 Dec 2008 08:48:54 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87hc5mjzex.fsf@offby1.atm01.sea.blarg.net> (raw)
Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.
Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org mailing list.
Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:
At the shell:
$ cd /usr/local/src/emacs-via-git/src/
create a tiny encrypted file.
$ echo Fee fi fo fum | gpg --symmetric > decrypt-me.gpg
gpg: gpg-agent is not available in this session
You can't see it in this transcript, but I typed a very short passphrase: "foo"
Proof that the file is indeed encrypted:
$ cat decrypt-me.gpg
-----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE-----
Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux)
jA0EAwMCJkAO8t1a89pgySSta9bxO023orfaXtK+Y0RuUP+8ohMfpLLgVlYWiTeN
sX8mKnE=
=HGzp
-----END PGP MESSAGE-----
Proof that I haven't forgotten the passphrase:
$ gpg --decrypt < decrypt-me.gpg
gpg: CAST5 encrypted data
gpg: gpg-agent is not available in this session
Enter passphrase: gpg: encrypted with 1 passphrase
Fee fi fo fum
gpg: WARNING: message was not integrity protected
Now let's visit the file in emacs:
$ ./emacs -Q -nw
I then typed C-x C-f decrypt-me.gpg RET. Emacs prompted me for the
passphrase for symmetric encryption, as I'd expect. I entered it, and
then instead of seeing "Fee fi fo fum" in the buffer, as I'd expected, I
saw an error in the echo area: "File exists, but cannot be read".
If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
`bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/usr/local/src/emacs-via-git/etc/DEBUG for instructions.
