Description collura 2010-10-12 04:21:58 UTC
Description of problem:

open gpa and goes right to an error message over a 
'you dont not have a private key yet' window.


window:'gpa error"
'the gpgme library returned an unexpected error.'
'the error was: invalid crypto engine.'

'this is probably a bug in gpa.'
'gpa will now try to recover from this error.'


new window: 'GnuPG is rebuilding the trust database.'
'This might take a few seconds.'


then seems to lock up but might still be working on list?
it didnt actually crash and dont see any gpg/gpa lines in message log but at same time didnt seem happy.

eventually managed to closed it after a few minutes of it not repsonding to clicking and with no obvious processor or harddrive activity.

for what its worth i think that this the second time i started gpa (still havent generated keys) and i didnt generate keys during the first time i started it so maybe that confused it.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

gpa-0.9.0-1.fc14 (x86_64)

How reproducible:

dont think happened first time opened but the next few it seems to reoccur

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open gpa
2. get error messages right away
3. wait to see if it does something or crashes
4. after a few minutes (and sometimes right away) it will let me cancel out fothe error message popups and let me close program window.
  
Actual results:

get error message popups

Expected results:

no error message popups but should let me begin to generate key

Same problem on i686 platform. GPA is now unusable.

Comment 3 Don Fore 2011-01-27 20:44:50 UTC
I receive

"The GPGME library returned an unexpected error. The error was: invalid crypto engine. This is probably a bug in GPA. GPA will now try and recover from this error."

It never recovers and GPA is unusable

gnupg 1.4.11-2.fc14

Predictably re-creatable each time the program is invoked.
I currently have a private and public key.

I'm also seeing this problem.  I had no problems with the previous version (0.8.0-3.fc13.x86_64).

I confirm this bug on a fedora 14 64bit install.

Comment 9 collura 2012-01-07 08:58:38 UTC
the status seems to be that gpa isnt in f15/f16 repos so continue use seahorse as workaround for now?

Comment 10 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-16 18:07:53 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. 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Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained.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 '14' 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.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached 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, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that 
version of Fedora.

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:
