Kleopatra does not show version information in the status bar. It does show whatever is stored in the VERSION file under the key statusline in the group [Kleopatra].
In libgcrypt/cipher/ecc-ecdsa.c, we have:
mpi_mulm (s, k_1, sum, ec->n); /* s = k^(-1)*(hash+(d*r)) mod n */
Hi Werner, I submitted a patch right after this bug report using AC_CHECK_DECLS([_sys_siglist]) [1].

The first call of get_key receives the following key listing from gpg:

Right now we have
Interesting, that sounds like a portable method. I am not very familiar with GPG internals, but to me that sounds like quite a bit of work. Unless there is another benefit to doing so, I don't think it is worth it just to print signal names.
Yep, I wrote a small client and server just to verify that it is functional.

I have now identified the exact conditions and a reproducible path for the issue I previously reported. I will also attach the relevant gpgme.log.
I doubt that this is a gpgme problem. With a gpgme log we will be able see the exact commands send to gpg and replicate this on the command line.
Should be fixed.
For gpgme 2 we changed the data types of the time fields to unsigned: rMf2d40473b522e348d96a70c089d2191d0b978098 . Since this change breaks the ABI we use the above change for the 1.24 branch.
And the US administration might even change the definition of a year to, say, 100 months so that potus can rightfully keep his promise that there won't be more election in the foreseeable future ;-)
By the way, "years" is also "incorrect" once in ~4 years because it uses n*365 days. Werner's advice still applies. Enter an ISO date if you want an exact date. Or use a UI tool like Kleopatra.
tested @ikloecker's patch succesful on amdahl.
The following patch for gpgme 1.24 should fix the test.
diff --git a/lang/cpp/src/key.cpp b/lang/cpp/src/key.cpp index 42046aa..2b14d90 100644 --- a/src/key.cpp +++ b/src/key.cpp @@ -633,7 +633,7 @@ time_t Subkey::creationTime() const
I did a local change (on amdahl.d.o) changing _gpgme_subkey.expires to long long (ABI-break) and all tests succeeded.
It looks like the entirety of gpgme timestamping was missed when the 64bit time transition happened in Debian and Ubuntu.
This looks like a problem in gpgme. struct _gpgme_subkey stores the expiration date as long int expires which is a signed 32-bit value on all 32-bit architectures. gpgmepp casts this to time_t, but that doesn't help if the 32-bit value is already negative. The same problem exists with all other timestamps in gpgme (i.e. key creation date, signature expiration date, etc.).
But the function works and returns the peer's credentials?
The main problem here was that this all is not async-safe and thus I once implemented only the standard cases I could test easily.
The logs of gpgme would be helpful, i.e. run your test program with GPGME_DEBUG=8:$(pwd)/gpgme-$(date +"%Y-%m-%d-%H%M%S").log to create a log file with gpgme's logs.

Yes, this is related to T7547. With my last fix for that I overlooked that we use PUBKEY_USAGE_CERT to internally request the primary key but that one is not set because in general USAGE_SIG means the same (except for some case in PGP7 mode).

Correction, the _ALL_SOURCE definition only applies if __cplusplus is defined... Strange platform...

I think you are correct.

The report is correct but it does not make sense to fix it. If you want to use a concrete expiration date just enter the IS date at the prompt; use ? at the prompt for a short description.

Thanks for the patch but I think it is better to fix this in yat2m. I created a new tag for bugs related to it.

This is really a minor thing and and it is actually true if you also sign something.

doc/HACKING says it's OK to use variadic arg macros (from C99 features).
If it's OK, this patch can fix the initialization (which silences GCC 15 warnings):

Good morning,
I stumbled upon this when digging through old Debian bug reports against 1.4 and checking whether they still applied to 2.4. This one really still applies.

IIUC, it's GCC 8 which starts the support of __nonstring__ attribute.

POSIX specifies and requires grep -E, but only mentions egrep as old.
Removing egrep from a Unix system will break all kind of stuff. I am not even sure whether old Unices support grep -E.

And, one more update, to fix win32 builds under --disable-npth. This is a roll-up patch that i think covers everything, you can disregard the earlier patches posted here.
Hm, we probably should avoid gpgv linking to npth as well, as that's also a sticking point in debian. This updated patch (also targeting the 2.4 branch) also has gpgv building against libcommon instead of libcommonpth, which appears to remove the dependency for me.
