Description Olivier Vitrat 2007-05-24 16:54:32 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)
Installed from:    Debian stable Packages

Reported in Debian BTS at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=398293


If you attempt to validate an signed file using kgpg, you get a popup
error similar to the following:

    [GNUPG:] PLAINTEXT 74 0 
    [GNUPG:] GET_BOOL openfile.overwrite.okay
    [GNUPG:] GOT_IT
    gpg: Signature made Tue 05 Apr 2005 01:39:12 PM PDT using DSA key ID

    [GNUPG:] TRUST_UNDEFINED
    gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature!
    gpg:          There is no indication that the signature belongs to the
    owner.
    Primary key fingerprint: 00B1 1009 38E6 9800 6518  F0AB FECD 6F3F 08B0
    A90B

So, even though it's a valid signature, and even though it *does* write
the decrypted file to disk, it pops up the message saying it failed.
This is confusing.

In addition, the "Sorry - KGpg -> Details" window is not resizable, and
very hard to read in its default squished state.
