Description Christof Kälin 2008-12-09 23:34:20 UTC

Version:           2.0.0 (using 4.1.3 (KDE 4.1.3), 4.1.3-3.fc10 Fedora)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686

I saw it in German, but I suppose it's in all languages. If you choose "change password" for your key for example and then press Cancel, you get a "Successfully changed password" back, which is just not true and confuses the user.
It should be nothing at all (just abort) or "Process cancelled" or so.

We are aware of this. It's a backend problem:
$ gpg --batch --edit <key> passwd save && echo yes || echo no
[cancel the pinentry]
yes

On Linux, we could leave the "save" off, but that doesn't work on Windows (due to a bug in gpg, I guess). The correct solution would be to use the edit interactor mechanism of gpgme, or fix gpg. We're currently hoping for a backend fix.
