Thanks for the comments. This is a regular git for Windows install which afaik uses mingw64. The messup with the binaries brought in by git has always been this way. I am using aliases to differentiate between the different versions. One might think that this may cause things to break, however all used to work well with 4.x versions.

gpg: [stdin]: clear-sign failed: No pinentrysrc/libwinpty/winpty.cc, line 924

Here you are:

This problem has gone in libgpg-error 1.51, since the implementation doesn't use environ any more.

Installing language-pack-tr-base fixed the issue. Closing. Sorry for the noise.

Works. Tested with VS-Desktop-3.2.94.474-Beta and Gpg4win 4.4 by moving only the signature key to a smartcard and then changing the password of the certificate via the context menu.

Actually not a bug: In my tests I forgot to unset LANGUAGES and LANG before calling gpg.

Thus this should work. But it did only work when I used

LANGUAGE= LANG= LC_MESSAGES=de_DE.UTF8 gpg

Thus the whole thing is related to the configuration of locale.alias and on whether LANGUAGE is set in the environment (for me it is set to en_US:en

I can replicate this. A quick strace with LC_MESSAGES=de_DE shows (gnupg master)

Backported for VSD 3.3.

Another data point:

$ locale
LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8

LC_TIME="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="de_DE.UTF-8"

Are you sure that the translations for gnupg are installed? On Tumbleweed translations are usually in a separate package. After installing the gpg2-lang package I get this when I force the Turkish translation:

Does

gpg --version

show English or Turkish strings?

Thanks for opening the ticket. I looked at it when it was reported in the forum, But had no test build at hand to test a fix. If you look at the history of g4wihelp.c you can see how other functions have been ported to Unicode recently. The change is that the strings in the nsis script world have changed to two byte strings. The problem is then where the c code interacts with the NSIS script obtaining parameters and setting return values. Since the popstackna takes an ascii string it only takes the first character as the second byte is null. Changing these occurrences to popstackn and the setuservariable to widechar should do the trick.

FWIW: as mentioned in T7452#195891, it might be necessary to manually copy the uninstaller to a temporary directory ({{ tmp_uninstall_exe }}) and call it from there to get a clean uninstall:

I had T3840 assigned to me related to the Qt parts. I close that now as duplicate. But I don't see that we ever added a call of gpgrt_w32_override_locale to kleopatra or gpgol either. Which I assume to be the fix for T7454
