This following list contains those bugs which we are aware of. Please

|
|
|
|
of these bugs/limitations we will certainly be glad to receive a patch.
|
|
|

(Please note that we need a disclaimer if a patch is longer than about
|

pgp263in works fine even with a source file with CR,LF but GnuPG
|
|
|
|
and pgp263in has problems if the clearsign has been created by
|
|
|
|
pgp263ia.

[ *] #3
|
|
|
|
--list-packets should continue even w/o a passphrase (or in batch
|
|
|
|
mode). Maybe we have to move it to a separate program??

[ *] #4 1999-01-13 <ralf.stephan@fitug.de> 0.9.1

v3 key 'expiration date' problem:
|
|
|
|
1. generate a key, set expiration date
|
|
|
|
2. <do other things, deleting etc.>
|
|
|
|
3. edit a v3 secret key, try to set expiration date
|
|
|
|
- output: "You can't change...
|
|
|
|
4. save
|
|
|
|
5. key has expiration date from 1. and gpg reports that pubkey
|
|
|
|
and seckey differ.
|
|
|
|
The for loop the exp.date is set before v3 detection?
|
|
|
|
[is this bug still there?]

[***] #6 1999-02-22 <backes@rhrk.uni-kl.de> 0.9.3
|
|
|
|
Buserror on IRIX 6.4: Crash while doing a keygen. I think while creating
|
|
|
|
the prime. Other buserrors are reported when doing a "gpg README"
|
|
|
|
on sparc-solaris2.6.

[ **] #7 1999-02-22 <dwpalmer@dwpalm.jf.intel.com> 0.9.3
|
|
|
|
Conventional encrytion incompatibilty:
|
|
|
|
$ gpg -c --cipher-algo cast5 --compress-algo 1 --no-comment secrets.txt
|
|
|
|
Creates a file that gpg can decrypt, but PGP 5.5 has problems with it.
|
|
|
|
PGP decrypts 6416k out of 6424k, then complains with "PGP Warning",
|
|
|
|
"The keyring contains a bad (corrupted) PGP packet". The resulting
|
|
|
|
file is missing information from the front.
