Description of problem: When you download a Encrypted message kmail does not decrypt the message. Probable cause kmail searches for gpg and can not find it ln /usr/bin/gpg2 /usr/bin/gpg fixes the problem Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kmail Version 1.13.5 This version has been installed from the Fedora 13 KDE Desktop Edition (Installable Live CD). So it may only be affecting that system. Giving kmail the ability to detech gpg2 as well as gpg would probably fix the problem How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
Reaffecting to kdepim since it provides /usr/bin/kmail -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
John, I see that the current gnupg2 package provides /usr/bin/gpg2 Could you check that installing this package fixes your problem? You might have to remove your symlink first. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
kmail already has an implicit dependency on /usr/bin/gpg2 kdepim -> gpgme -> gnupg2 The problem described here (in the initial comment) is that kmail is looking for /usr/bin/gpg specifically, which is now only provided by gnupg-1.4.10
the problem also affects kgpg.
Kgpg was fixed in bug #647876 Ugh, forgot about this one, will which is more feasible: 1. patch kdepim to use gpg2 2. add dep for gnupg(1) 3. patch kdepim to use gpg2 *or* gpg(1)
This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 13. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '13'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 13's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 13 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Please remove the dependency on gpg. We deprecated it a long time ago during the crypto consolidation project. (I guess someone brought it back to life recently.) The distribution already installs gpg2, so it wastes disk space to install yet another program that does the same thing. But more importantly, gpg carries its own crypto implementation. It is not FIPS compliant. Gpg2 on the otherhand uses libgcrypt, it is FIPS compliant. Its better to try to use gpg2 and fall back to gpg if the first is not found. Thanks.
kdepim-4.4.x unfortunately hard-codes use of gpg(1) in many places, and (apparently) uses some options not used or supported in gpg2. fixing this to use gpg2 properly was non-trivial, so I (re) added the dep in the meantime, %changelog Tue May 10 2011 Rex Dieter <rdieter> 7:4.4.11.1-3 - Requires: gnupg (#630249)
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Yes and no, it *should* use gpgme (gnupg2-based) stuff in most places now
I wrote here since kmail is still depending on package gpg, not on gpg2. I don't think this is still the intended behaviour, and kmail should require and use gpg2. Should I open a separate bug for that?
ok (fwiw, kmail already implicitly depends on gpg2 through kleopatra)
