Description Илья Индиго 2021-12-21 10:32:11 UTC
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:13ilya/trojita
The latest git version stopped building in openSUSE Tumbleweed.
https://build.opensuse.org/package/live_build_log/home:13ilya/trojita/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/x86_64
I don't understand what the reason is, maybe gcc/glibc.
Comment 1 Jan Kundrát 2021-12-21 13:43:46 UTC
That error comes from your build system, not from something we provide, and bugzilla is not really a good place to ask for help. Consider using a mailing list next time, please. But if you read the error log, here's the relevant part:

[  116s] bash /home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/trojita-0.7~git20211029/tests/Cryptography/keygen.sh /home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/trojita-0.7~git20211029
[  116s] gpgconf: error running '/usr/bin/dirmngr': probably not installed
[  116s] gpgconf: error running '/usr/bin/pinentry': probably not installed

That comes from a script which generates GPG keys for the test suite, and the error suggests that your configuration of GnuPG expects to find '/usr/bin/dirmngr' a '/usr/bin/pinentry', but they are not available in your build environment. Perhaps your build dependencies are not set properly?

Don't build with gpg2 2.3.2

https://dev.gnupg.org/T5444 but afaiu that's the SuSE build system and nothing related to the built source (trojitá)?

Did I get it right, the problem is not in tests/Cryptography/keygen.sh but somewhere in OBS?
Comment 5 Thomas Lübking 2021-12-21 16:49:06 UTC
The problem is in gpg, but tests/Cryptography/keygen.sh has indeed

LD_PRELOAD=./libfake-dev-random.so ${GPG} --batch --quiet --gen-key ${SRCDIR}/tests/Cryptography/batch-keygen

which will likely trigger that.

However it'll just create a new key pair w/ your local default settings and your default settings conflict w/ the bug in gpg.
The script could select an algorithm (RSA) but that's a stupid workaround - just assume the next gpg bug is that RSA fails…

gpg2-2.3.patch

https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/home:13ilya/trojita/gpg2-2.3.patch?expand=1
This patch fix build with gpg2- 2.3.3 and don't break build with gpg2-2.2.27.
Comment 7 Илья Индиго 2021-12-21 17:39:00 UTC
Thank you, now I understand the problem.
The problem is gpg, my patch solves it temporarily until they fix the upstream gpg.
