List of some known bugs ------------------------- This following list contains those bugs which we are aware of. Please make sure that bugs you report are not listed here. If you can fix one 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 10 lines; but it may help anyway to show us where we have to fix it. Do an "info standards" to find out why a disclaimer is needed for GNU.) (format: severity: [ *] to [***], no, first reported, by, version) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [ *] #1 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 0.9.1 v3 key 'expiration date' problem: 1. generate a key, set expiration date 2. 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?] [ *] #5 /home/jam/.gnupg/pubring.gpg: can't open gdbm file: Can't be writer keyblock resource `/home/jam/.gnupg/pubring.gpg': file open error OOPS in close enum_keyblocks - ignored [gdbm is experimental and will be replaced by the new keybox code] [***] #6 1999-02-22 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 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.
