Description

GnuPG Made Easy (GPGME) is a C language library that allows to add support for cryptography to a program. It is designed to make access to public key crypto engines like GnuPG or GpgSM easier for applications. GPGME provides a high-level crypto API for encryption, decryption, signing, signature verification and key management.

GPGME comes with language bindings for Common Lisp, C++, QT, Python2 and Python 3.

GPGME uses GnuPG and GpgSM as its backends to support OpenPGP and the Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS).

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.

• ikloecker added a comment to T7627: gpgme(qt) testsuite error on 32bit archs with 64bit time_t.

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.

I did a local change (on amdahl.d.o) changing _gpgme_subkey.expires to long long (ABI-break) and all tests succeeded.

svuorela added a comment to T7627: gpgme(qt) testsuite error on 32bit archs with 64bit time_t.

It looks like the entirety of gpgme timestamping was missed when the 64bit time transition happened in Debian and Ubuntu.

• ikloecker edited projects for T7627: gpgme(qt) testsuite error on 32bit archs with 64bit time_t, added: gpgme; removed gpgmeqt, qt.

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.).

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.

bjk added a comment to T3325: Allow encryption/signing in GPGME using a specified subkey .

Attached is a patch which adds gpgme_subkey_set_flag() to handle both encryption and signing keys. Or maybe it would be better to add another signing function that does recpstring?
