Description Matt Whitlock 2013-04-10 04:50:03 UTC 
When performing any S/MIME operation (encrypting, decrypting, signing, verifying), KMail's background task hangs indefinitely, until the spawned gpgsm process is killed. Once the gpgsm is killed, KMail resumes normal behavior (and even sees the correct result of the gpgsm operation).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to view a signed and/or encrypted S/MIME message.
2. KMail never gets past "Please wait while the signature is being verified" or "Please wait while the message is being decrypted".
3. killall gpgsm
4. KMail completes verification or decryption.
Actual Results:  
KMail's S/MIME operations hang until the spawned gpgsm process is killed.

Expected Results:  
KMail should be able to perform S/MIME operations without the gpgsm process needing to be manually killed.

Here is the GnuPG log resulting from opening an encrypted email (with several recipients) in KMail:

I can also confirm this on Arch Linux (KDE 4.10.2, gpgme 1.4.0)

Updated KDE-PIM to 4.10.3 -- no change

As supposed by Nicky726 downgrading to 1.3.2-1 solves the issue:
If you didn't clean your pacman cache recently:

# pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/gpgme-1.3.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz 

restart kontact / kmail

This is https://bugs.g10code.com/gnupg/issue1502.

You can configure gpgme with --disable-fd-passing as a workaround
