Arch Linux

I have also a Problem with dirmngr but not with e-mail signature.
My Problem is that I try to install archlinux on usb drive but my problem is that in the change rooted environement I got the following problem
terminal input: updatedb
and then I got the follwing message
bash: /usr/bin/updatedb: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
but this file exists.
On the hosts system I got in the Kernel Messages the following Message
[18034.956891] dirmngr[12152]: segfault at 580 ip 00007f6c7a854881 sp 00007fffa3b44420 error 4 in libpth.so.20.0.27[7f6c7a84b000+12000]

both systems the host and the installed system on usb drive is ArchLinux
On both system are these packages installed
core/pth 2.0.7-5
core/dirmngr 1.1.1-2


I have found also this thread in another forum
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/gnupg/users/64691?page=last

there is also a problem with gnupg, pth, dirmngr

So, the incriminated upgrade included also upgrade of libgcrypt from 1.5.3-1 to 1.6.0-1 and rebuilt of gnupg from 2.0.22-1 to 2.0.22-2.
Downgrading dirmngr and pth makes no difference, downgrading also gnupg makes KMail not to verify emails at all. To downgrade libgcrypt I didn't dare, since it is dependency for cryptsetup and I do not currently have a spare system at hand, in case it messes up disk encryption. I will give it a run during the weekend.
Also current rebuilt of libgcrypt 1.6.0-2 seems to make no difference.

After the downgrade of libgcrypt to 1.5.3 and downgrade/rebuild of related packages pth, dirmngr, gnupg and gpgme, email signing/signature verification works again. So the libgcrypt seems to be the culprit.

There seems to be related bug report [https://bugs.g10code.com/gnupg/issue1590] with a working patch for dirmngr.

I have attached the patch available from the link Nicky indicated above.

From ABS, using the patch and rebuilding dirmngr fixes the issue (I use S/MIME with claws mail and that functionality has been restored).

Cannot reproduce (never could) but I have very often some core dumps [http://paste.ubuntu.com/7130055]
I use KMail / Kontact with Kleopatra, never had any issues with mail signature/encryption/validation.
It is just an annoyance to me as it floods my logs.

Same here

Linux zomgz 3.13.6-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Mar 7 22:47:48 CET 2014 x86_64 GNU/Linux

pth 2.0.7-5
dirmngr 1.1.1-2

No visible effects of that, only dmesg entries present.

After patching dirmngr, signing with S/MIME in Kmail works for me again.

Any chance of having this patch integrated into our repo ?

I'd also like to see this included, as it affects me severely.

To fix this problem, I ended up building my own dirmngr package with the patch included. Now dirmngr works. I came to this bug through looking for solutions to issue described in this bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=337900

It would be nice to get this bug acknowledged by the maintainer, otherwise I'm happy to file a new one, and get dirmngr fixed. The patch mentioned above works.

Hi, I can confirm this bug too, it is a show stopper for Kmail with S/Mime.

Applying the above patch fixes the problem

I can confirm this bug, too. Dirmngr crashes, and so S/MIME does not work in Kmail. As I don't know, how to apply patch patch in a clean way, I cannot confirm the fix.

For anyone trying to patch dirmngr:

1 - use abs (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Build_System):
$ sudo abs core

2 - Copy dirmmngr to your home folder:
$ sudo cp -vrfp /var/abs/core/dirmngr ~/

3 - Change folder/files permission to your user (replace user with your username):
$ sudo chow -R user:user ~/dirmngr

4 - Download above patch and put it inside the dirmngr folder
$ cd dirmngr
$ curl https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/38560?getfile=11445 > dirmngr-pth-fix.patch

5 - Edit PKGBUILD file:
$ vim PKGBUILD

Add to the line source the patch:
source=(ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/$pkgname/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.bz2 dirmngr-pth-fix.patch)

Save the file and the run updpkgsums:
$ updpkgsums

6 - Edit again PKGBUILD and replace build() with the following:

build() {
cd $srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver
cd src
patch -Np1 -i ../../dirmngr-pth-fix.patch
cd ..
# FIX for https://bugzilla.redhat.com/565131
# not sure how best to turn this into something more upstreamable
# patch configure to try this combo first? -- Rex
# https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/28606
export LDAPLIBS="-lldap -llber"
./configure --prefix=/usr --libexecdir=/usr/lib
make
}


Save the file and run makepkg -s:

$ makepkg -s

7 - Finally install the new package:

$ sudo pacman -U dirmngr-1.1.1-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

Enjoy your patched file :P
