But we use gpgme also for inline encryption now.
Try running gpg-agent first?

I started gpg-agent --daemon, the result is the same. Or am I forced to 
upgrade the newpg and it's not enough to have gpg installed or 
otherwise I won't be able to send signed and encrypted messages 
anymore? 
 Right now I cannot even select GpgMe from the Crypto Backends, just 
Kgpg/gpg1. And it's not clear for me what does it mean (read, what 
feature does it provide and what features won't work). 

 I run a fairy recent distro (SuSE 9.1).

Ah. I have no idea if/how the code is supposed to work with Kgpg/gpg1.
I would like to find out why gpgme can't be selected - given that we do ship a copy
of gpgme with kdepim... Did configure use that one, or an installed gpgme?
Ah, or does it say that gpg is too old so no gpgme can be used at all?

You restarted kmail after starting gpg-agent, in a way that kmail inherits the env. vars
from gpg-agent, right? This is of course necessary. (I suggest to run gpg-agent with
eval `gpg-agent --daemon`  in e.g. ~/.kde/env/agents.sh if using kdebase-cvs-head)
But of course this will only matter once gpgme is actually enabled.

From config.log:

/* #undef HAVE_GPGME_KEY_T_KEYLIST_MODE */


And yes, it says that my gpgsm is too old.
So the question now is: if KMail provides its own gpgme if the system does not have a good one, why isn't that used?

Regarding gpg-agent, I did:
andris@stein:~> gpg-agent --daemon
gpg-agent[16703]: Secure memory is not locked into core
GPG_AGENT_INFO=/tmp/gpg-RqmJ85/S.gpg-agent:16761:1; export GPG_AGENT_INFO;
andris@stein:~> GPG_AGENT_INFO=/tmp/gpg-RqmJ85/S.gpg-agent:16761:1; export GPG_AGENT_INFO;
andris@stein:~> kmail


BTW, when were the requirements changed for inline encryption? IIRC I've update a week or so ago kdepim and it worked than, but doesn't work now.

From what I see in the configure script, gpgme-copy is used when you get "no" above.
What's GPGME_LIBS for you? (check toplevel MakeVars if using unsermake, any Makefile if using automake)
Is there any .la in kdepim/libkdenetwork/libgpgme-copy/gpgme/ ?

gpgme-copy should probably be updated to a newer version, I wonder if this could be the problem...
Marc: the configure check looks for GPGME_KEYLIST_MODE_VALIDATE, gpgme_cancel, and gpgme_key_t->keylist_mode,
in the installed gpgme. But when using gpgme-copy, none of those are available. Does that cripple the functionality
somehow? If yes, then we have to upgrade gpgme-copy obviously. Do you see any problems in doing that?

> And yes, it says that my gpgsm is too old.
Don't worry about gpgsm, that's for S/MIME. What matters for you is gpg + gpgme.

> What's GPGME_LIBS for you? (check toplevel MakeVars if using unsermake, any 
> Makefile if using automake) 
GPGME_LIBS = $(top_builddir)/libkdenetwork/libgpgme-copy/gpgme/libgpgme.la

> Is there any .la in kdepim/libkdenetwork/libgpgme-copy/gpgme/ ? 
Yes, I have libqgpgme.la.

So it's compiled.

Indeed. S/MIME is disabled under GpgMe, OpenPgp/gpg is not, but if I check it, close the dialog, go back to the configuration dialog it is not checked anymore. This is what I mean when I said that I can't select GpgMe.
 

Oops, sorry, the libraries in libgpgme-copy/gpgme are:
libgpgme-real.la
libgpgme.la

So it should be OK.

Ah there's the bug then.
It's unchecked, but not disabled, right?

Do you get 
[Backends]
OpenPGP=gpgme
in libkleopatrarc after selecting gpgme for OpenPGP support?

I'm afraid the next step is going to be about debugging cryptobackendfactory, see
Kleo::CryptoBackendFactory in kdepim/certmanager/lib/kleo.
readConfig() reads the above, and uses backendByName() to find the gpgme backend.

Do you get any errors (other than for s/mime) when using the Rescan button
in kmail's configuration dialog?

> Ah there's the bug then.

Yes. It's there, it's checkable, but it won't remember the setting.

No, it remains:
[Backends]
OpenPGP=Kpgp/gpg1

I have manually changed to gpgme, now it KMail crashes on mail sending without showing the warning messages. The backtrace is the same as in the original report.

I don't think it's a simple configuration changing/storage error, see above.
Of course, there is also an error, as now I cannot change back to Kpgp/gpg.

No, those are the only ones.

That's fixed now.

But I see what the real problem is. KMail thinks your own key is invalid (and refuses
to sign with it) due to gpgme-copy not having validating keylisting stuff.

I will update gpgme-copy later tonight or tomorrow.

I've updated gpgme to 0.9.0. That should be enough as now I have:
configure:42985: checking for gpgme-config
configure:43003: found /usr/bin/gpgme-config
configure:43016: result: /usr/bin/gpgme-config
configure:43035: checking for GPGME - version >= 0.4.4
configure:43064: result: yes

I rebuild kdepim, yet the problem remains. I don't get the warnings 
anymore, instead KMail crashes when sending the mail if I selected it 
to be signed with inline opengpg, and refuses to send (without any 
message) for other cases. BT below (now without debug info as I forgot 
to add --enable-debug and don't want to recompiled again). 

Regarding the settings: I still cannot change away from gpgme.

Ok, even more (bad?) news: I've downloaded and installed the latest gnupg (1.9.9) and all its requirement libraries. Now I can select S/MIME encryption. The results are:
- inline opengpg crashes as I said
- S/MIME complains about my key ("You have requested to sign this message, but no valid signing keys have been configured for this identity.
If you choose to continue, no signing will be performed.")
- I've changed the expiration for my key from Unlimited to some day in the future, but the problem remains
- with or without gpg-agent, I cannot select keys for S/MIME for the identities (Re-read doesn't give me any key).
- if GpgMe/OpenPGP is not checked, I cannot select OpenPGP keys for identities
- after I change the GpgMe/OpenPGP setting, I have to restart KMail, otherwise it won't read the keys for the identities

From what I see the problems may have the source in not recognizing my key as valid anymore. This worked before for OpenPGP, I never tried S/MIME until now.

OK, that's the gpgme problem I've been hitting too. I'm quite sure it's a backend bug,
but I didn't manage to get the backend people to fix it yet.

Do you also see that gpg-agent dies? (it just disappears from the ps list)

Here's a workaround if you're interested: fire kwatchgnupg and set the debug level
to the maximum. Then restart gpg-agent. For me it makes signing work all of a sudden,
which is rather unexplicable.

I just mailed the backend people again, I hope they'll fix it soon.

> Regarding the settings: I still cannot change away from gpgme. 
Huh? Did you really update and reinstall all of kdepim, at least certmanager and kmail?
I'm quite sure the setting is saved now.

No, it is there after KMail crashes.

It doesn't help, KMail is still crashing here.

Yes, sure. Try the following (assuming the selected backend is 
Gpgme/openpgp):
- set the backend to kgpg/gpg1
- close the dialog
- open the config dialog
- the selected backend is still the gpgme/opengpg
- now quit and restart KMail
- the selected backend is kgpg/gpg1

CVS commit by faure: 

Really set the backend when the user changes the backend in the configuration dialog.

Strange. Maybe it's when I do it in combination with
GPGME_DEBUG=5:/tmp/gpgme.log kmail

If you manage to get the signing bug while doing the above, and with gpg-agent running (and not dying),
can you please send me the log? I didn't manage to get that, since it magically works at that point.

Fixed for real now.

I send the log in private. Now before dying, I got a "Broken pipe" error dialog from KMail. Here is the output to the console:

I saw that too. Can you confirm that gpg-agent is NOT running anymore, after the broken pipe error happens?

gpg-agent IS running for me after the broken pipe (and KMail crash).

gpg-agent --version

I just want to mention that I can send signed and/or encrypted messages with KMail HEAD. Thus it's either a configuration problem or a backend problem. I'm considering to close this bug report as invalid.

I also tested this with a new user. Settings:
~/.gnupg/gpg.conf
use-agent

~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf
no-grab
pinentry-program /usr/bin/pinentry-qt
debug 1024

Used GnuPG stuff:
Stock SuSE 8.2 packages + newer self-built RPMs (cf. kmail.ingo-kloecker.de)

I've created a test key for this user.

Then I started kmail, added an email address and the signing/encryption keys to the default identity and added a sending account.

The following worked:
- Signing (inline and PGP/MIME)
- Encryption (only PGP/MIME; even if I select "inline" the message is PGP/MIME encrypted)
- Verification of PGP/MIME signed messages
- Decryption + verification of PGP/MIME signed + encrypted messages

The following doesn't work:
- Verification of clearsigned messages
- Decryption of clearsigned messages

This is with kdepim from 2004-06-10 23:00.

After updating to the absolutely latest version of HEAD and selecting "OpenPGP (gpg)" as crypto backend it also works for me again.

Finally, I got it working. Here are the steps:

1. I removed the self installed gpg stuff and restored the one shipped 
with SuSE 9.1 (just to make sure that gpgme-copy is used)
2. updated and recomplied kdepim

After these steps KMail crashed in the same way as before. I've started 
to modify the gpg-agent.conf and gpg.conf to have the same as Ingo has.
This made signing in KMail working again! OK, so where is the problem?

In gpg.conf there was no "use-agent" for me, but this wasn't the problem 
as I've tried both with and without use-agent now, and it works in both 
cases. I don't have use-agent now.

My original gpg-agent.conf looked like:
###+++--- GPGConf ---+++###
debug-level guru
log-file socket:///home/andris/.gnupg/log-socket
###+++--- GPGConf ---+++### Thu 10 Jun 2004 03:10:32 PM EEST
# GPGConf edited this configuration file.
# It will disable options before this marked block, but it will
# never change anything below these lines.

I've added the pinenentry-program yesterday to it, but it made no 
difference. My current gpg-agent complained about errors in the file, 
so I cleared up and I have now only one line:
pinentry-program /usr/bin/pinentry-qt

Now it works. So I don't have the slightest idea where is the 
configuration problem. 

Still, don't close the report because:
1. KMail crashes if gpg-agent is not running (should give some useful 
error message instead)
2. The requirements were changed (gpg-agent is required), and looks like 
some configuration is also needed in order to make it work. There will 
be many who will find signing broken once they install kdepim 3.3.
Just try kdepim CVS HEAD on a clean system and see if it works without 
manually tweaking configuration files or not. If it needs manual 
configuration, I think it's far from being nice and user friendly.

I also updated now, but it still does not work. I have exactly the same 
problem you described in your mail to the kmail list.

I'm still using "OpenPGP (Kpgp/gpg1)"

I have a similar situation with Kmail 1.6.52 and KDE 3.2.3 running on SuSE 9.1. I am unable to digitally sign mails The Settings, Security tab, crypto backends tab, states that GpgMe is compiled without Openpgp and S/MIME support, I have selected Kpgp/gpg1 as my backend but am unable to digitally sign mail. I believe I have all the latest SuSE 9.1 rpm's installed.

I'm also having this problem.

If I set the backend to OpenPGP, I can sign messages normally, both using the Inline/OpenPGP method and using OpenPGP/MIME.

However, if I set it to Kgpg/gpg1, KMail shows the error message
"This message could not be signed, since the chosen backend does not seem to support signing; this should actually never happen, please report this bug."
for both OpenPGP/MIME and Inline/OpenPGP, with the plus that, for the latter case, it also crashes with the same failed assertion as the original report.

This is HEAD from a few hours ago, and I'm recompiling again with debugging enabled. I'm using gnupg 1.2.4 and libgpgme-copy (my distro ships 0.3.16), gpg-agent is running and has never crashed.

The famous gpgme bug which prevented signing has just been fixed.

Please apply the attached patch to your gpgme-1.9.x

Sorry, I meant gnupg-1.9.x

You need gnupg-1.3.x (or 1.2.5 when it's out), see bug 85009.

So isn't this a duplicate of 85009 (or vice versa)?

I didn't had time to test KMail more (nor to update since some time), 
but I will do in the next days as it seems that if I send an encrypted 
mail the receiver cannot read it. I will check with an up to date 
version and report in the following days.
