python-gpgme signature revokation assertion error: `gpg->cmd.code' failed
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

I'm trying to use the python-gpg wrapper for GPGME to revoke a signature. My code is here: https://bitbucket.org/malb/batzenca/src/e891b2d4fad86bd36059d6da04de38775c68ef91/batzenca/gnupg.py#lines-543

However, I'm ending up with:

python3: ../../src/engine-gpg.c:800: command_handler: Assertion `gpg->cmd.code' failed.

This looks like a bug to me, but I might also be calling the library wrongly.

Version
Python GPG 1.13

I do not know this Python library. It looks like one of the older binding to GPGME. Please contact the author of gnupg.py or switch over to the Python language binding we provide with gpgme.

Hi, this is using the Python language bindings provided by GPGME. I am the author of gnupg.py which my attempt to use those bindings to revoke a signature.

Sorry, there have been quite some bindings with similar names, so I couldn't identify which one this is about. Can you please run with your test code with GPGME_DEBUG=9:/foo/gpgme.log set which makes it it easier to understand what is going on.

Here's an excerpt of the output which should cover the critical step. Let me know if you need more/all.

Thanks for your report, but your excerpt is irrelevant.

I tested, and your code results:

GPGME 20201112T170645 7D82    _gpgme_io_read: enter: fd=4 buffer=0x0000000002c14580 count=1024

I think that it's because of your code adding new lines for revocation reason text, and GPGME has no way handling multiple lines correctly.

msg += "\n\n"

I'm not sure if revocation reason text allows new line in its content.

You're right. Thank you.
