Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 234087
Incorrect detection of multiple plaintexts
Last modified: 2008-05-30 22:16:28 EDT
Description of problem: When decrypting multiple GPG encrypted files with --multifile --decrypt (or --decrypt-files), I get "gpg: WARNING: multiple plaintexts seen" warnings for all but the first file in the list. Furthermore, decryption fails with the message "gpg: handle plaintext failed: unexpected data" on all but the first file unless I give it the --allow-multiple-messages option. But even then, I still get the warning messages. All files in the list have been encrypted with gnupg, verified with 'file' as "GPG encrypted data", and are not plain text. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gpg (GnuPG) 1.4.7 How reproducible: Completely reproducible. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a subdir with several files. 2. Encrypt all files in the subdir with gnupg; remove originals 3. Attept to decrypt all files at once with 'gpg --multifile --decrypt *' Actual results: Only the first file in the shell expansion list of '*' gets decrypted. The rest generate the warning message "gpg: WARNING: multiple plaintexts seen" ans well as a line indicating that decryption failed. Using --allow-multiple-messages will cause the files to be decrypted, but the warning message persists. Expected results: All files decrypted successfully with no warnings or errors. Additional info:
