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.
Bugs which are marked with "FIX: yyyy-mm-dd" are fixed in the CVS
and after about half a day in the rsync snapshots.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[ *] #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 alive? - can someone please check it]
[ **] #6 1999-02-22 <backes@rhrk.uni-kl.de> 0.9.3
Bus error on IRIX 6.4: Crash while doing a keygen. I think while creating
the prime. Other bus errors are reported when doing a "gpg README"
on sparc-solaris2.6.
--> Solaris fixed.
--> IRIX bug still there but someone should test this again!
(<mack@sgi.com> reports that it is still alive in 1.0.0)
[ *] #18 1999-05-27 <Steffen.Zahn@icn.siemens.de> 0.9.7
rndunix hangs on hp/ux. The problem is related to my_plcose which is
not always called. (I suggest to use EGD instead of rndunix.)
[ *] #22 1999-07-22
Solaris make has problems with the generated POTFILES - seems to be a
gettext bug. Use GNU make as a workaround.
FIX: 1999-12-03 (meanwhile fixed in gettext)
[ *] #23 1999-09-03 <todd.brooks@yale.edu> 0.9.11
Only the first signature of a cleartext sig seems to be verified.
Can't fix it in 1.0 because the code is semi-frozen.
HMMM: Can't reprodude the bug here - it just works.
[ *] #24 1999-09-05 <marcus@yoyo.cc.monash.edu.au> 0.9.11
Does not link libc and libz expect when removing all "-lc -lz" except
for the last one. This happens on some systems when not using the
GNU ld. This need to be fixed in libtool.
[ **] #25 1999-10-04 <wk@gnupg.org> 1.0
Validity check based on user name is only done when listing a key;
the key ID based checking (selecting the user ID with the most
validity) is used in all other cases. The Edit menu does not have
a way to disable user ID based validity.
FIX: 1999-12-03 (1.0.x only)
[ *] #26 1999-11-11
gpg still does not take UTF8 strings to select a UID.
FIX: 1999-11-12
[ **] #27 1999-11-12 <oren@hishome.net>
Unknown packets (type 17 - photo ID?) mess up the checking
of self-signature because they are simply ignored.
FIX: 1999-11-12 (1.0.x only)
[ *] #28 1999-11-29
--list-key will only emit an error about unknown UIDs when all UIDs
are unknown.
[Postponed for 1.2]
[ **] #29 1999-12-01 <karney@pppl.gov>
Using a --gen-key on a new user account (w/o ~./gnupg) doesn't pay
attention to the standard options files, which get's installed
afterwards.
FIX: 1999-12-02
Next #30
