That RFC is Experimental anyway

Still good for experiments.

Here is my proposal:

git checkout gnupg-2.5.14, reverted the commits 46f4cb66125ee34e87e592cc02d38daead3427af and 0cc7759ed5a3890b4e28563a6b5e97f3aa551530, recompiled, and the error message gpg: keydb_search_first failed: SQL error no longer appeared. Also, in /root/.gnupg/public-keys.d/, the two files pubring.db.lock and .#lk0x0000... are present.

Note: Backup/Restore secret kyber keys looks good to me on gpg4win-5.0.0-beta413 @ win11 now.

Let me explain about the change rG57affc4e98ab.

Additionally, in the /root/.gnupg/public-keys.d/ directory, the two files .#lk0x00007fdcb40043b0.b02bef684bbe.5108 and pubring.db.lock are missing.

gpg was compiled with the latest version of SQLite3 at the time as its own private library, without linking against the system's libsqlite3.so.
The sqlite3 CLI is the version that comes pre-installed with Ubuntu 22.04.5.

Can you please schek which Sqlite version you have installed? I have not seen this on my system.

Interesting. What SQlite version are you using? To see the exact reason and you have a copy of the old pubring.db, please add

Applied the change to master: rG57affc4e98ab: common,agent,dirmngr,kbx:w32: Synchronous spawning daemon process.

I applied a change with GPGRT_ATTR_NONSTRING to master, since 2.6 branch now requires newere gpgrt.
Fix is rGcad79e542d85: agent,common,dirmngr,tests: Silence warnings of a compiler.

The problem is that a user may unintentionally use the suggested filename without checking that it does not harm to write to this file. It is better not to present a default name at all.

The revision was actually applied (rG0947a20c28cf: gpgsm: Fix output of card serial number in colon listing.), but Phabricator doesn't allow me to set it as applied because not all reviewers have approved it.

Fix applied. Thanks.

This is not a composite key specific thing despite that this is an extra challenge. The creation date is used to reconstruct a key if the public key has been lost and only the fingerprint is still available. A solution might be to test the all combinations of stored creation dates to match the fingerprint.

I can confirm that the patch fixes the issue. Thanks!

I am currently working on backup/restore of Kyber keys. The error message will go away.

This is caused by a bug in gpgsm. The card serial numbers are missing in the with-colon key listing.

That's my mistake with KEM API.

Alright, I change it from for notation data (and name).

[GNUPG:] NOTATION_NAME foo@foo.org
[GNUPG:] NOTATION_FLAGS 0 1
[GNUPG:] NOTATION_DATA bla%20bla%20��%20blub

with change:

[GNUPG:] NOTATION_NAME foo@foo.org
[GNUPG:] NOTATION_FLAGS 0 1
[GNUPG:] NOTATION_DATA bla%20bla%20%81%82%20blub

Since rfc2440 the PGP specs say:

Added a compatibility flag in: rGad0c6c33c3d6: gpg: Do not use a default when asking for another output filename.

Fixed in rG115d138ba599: gpg: Fix possible memory corruption in the armor parser.

Fixed in rGdb9705ef594d: gpg: Avoid potential downgrade to SHA1 in 3rd party key signatures.

That's a good question. Looking at https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-koch-librepgp/, it doesn't really specify what encoding is used for "human-readable" notation, so I'd personally lean towards encoding it to stay on the safe side. Unless I'm mistaken, status-fd will only be used locally, so escaping overhead should not be a problem.

The question is who shall correct the wrong encoding of notation data (assuming it is flagged as human readable). Escaping is a solution but needs a lot of extra bytes.

It is not an ADSK issue. The problem is that the new subkey has not been entered into the fingerprint table and can thus not be found.

That's what gpg-card url --clear does

if (!strcmp (argstr, "--clear"))
  url = xstrdup (" "); /* No real way to clear; set to space instead. */

Fixed in 2.5.13.

So we need to find out what gpg-card url --clear does to avoid the card error for the ZeitControl cards.

In gpg4win-4.4.1 it works too.

Note: In the current vsd beta (29) it works (pinentry for the next key is opened):

Note: It works with gpg-card url --clear.

I could reproduce this with a ZeitControl OpenPGP v3.4 card, but (as Tobias) not with an (old) Yubikey. Looks like a bug in the card firmware.

This issue should be fixed in 2.6, too.
