The problem of encrypting to several keys is effectively solved with gpa 0.7.6. The following note may be of interest for a) the webmaster of the french pages on http://www.gnupg.org/ b) the responsible of the download area ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/alpha/gpa c) the users of Ubuntu willing to use a recent version of gpa Unless you provide me with some comments on this note in the next days, I'll post it on http://ubuntuforums.org/ and, in french, on http://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/ and, as suggested by Bernhard, try to do some 'lobbying' to suggest the inclusion of a recent gpa version in Ubuntu. Regards, marc ==== About gpa on Ubuntu, GNU Privacy Assistant (a GUI to GNUPG) The last version of GNU/Linux Ubuntu 7.10 (october 2007) still comes with gpa 0.7.0. (which is 4 years old!) We know there is bug in this version : pga hangs up when trying to encrypt to several keys. This bug was fixed in version 0.7.5 of 2007-02-26 On http://www.gnupg.org/ in the french version, the page http://www.gnupg.org/(fr)/related_software/gpa/index.html is partially obsolete as it suggests the download from ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/alpha/gpa of a so-called last gpa source beeing 0.7.5 of 2007-02-26 However, the english version http://www.gnupg.org/(en)/related_software/gpa/index.html properly recommands the development site http://wald.intevation.org/projects/gpa/ where the source of version 0.7.6 is effectively available. An install file explains how to configure, compile and install gpa but, of course, does not provide specific explanations (which dependencies ?) for Ubuntu. Here they are. To compile the pga source on Ubuntu (Desktop edition) some installations must first be done thru the synaptic tool (in the System/Administration menu) or by a $ apt-get install (mind that some of these prerequisites are also needed to compile any other source) The following packages are needed. Some of them will automatically load their dependencies : make (probably already installed) gcc (probably already installed) g++ (not sure you need it) libc6-dev (otherwise you get the famous "C compiler cannot create executables" message) zlib1g-dev (zlib library used by gpa) libgtk2.0-dev (GTK+ used by gpa) libgpgme11-dev (GPGME used by gpa) and, of course, gnupg (already installed with gpa 0.7.0 and/or thunderbird-enigmail) If you fail to install these packages, the "./configure" will provide error messages. It's however more confortable (even if less instructive) to install the dependencies listed here before trying the "./configure". pga (0.7.6) installs it self in /usr/local/bin/gpa while the initial application (0.7.0) installed by Ubuntu was in /usr/bin/gpa . So, don't forget to update the path of the application in the definition of the main menu (System/Preferences) Finally, the compilation, install and test of gpa 0.7.6 is relatively simple. Supposing gpa-0.7.6 is the directory where you unpacked gpa, the following steps will probably do : sudo apt-get install make gcc g++ libc6-dev zlib1g-dev libgtk2.0-dev libgpgme11-dev gnupg cd gpa-0.7.6 ./configure make sudo make install cd /usr/local/bin gpa Btw, the good news is that the bug related to the encryption to several keys is effectively fixed in version 0.7.6 ===== -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHL3vxwq/V6u582tIRAs++AJ0We3vwNAuG59es39GcPd/HQhawmwCg76fA wM2B2InFfzB3g/hELfGmGfQ= =bBsB -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- From marcus.brinkmann at ruhr-uni-bochum.de Tue Nov 6 15:20:52 2007 From: marcus.brinkmann at ruhr-uni-bochum.de (Marcus Brinkmann) Date: Tue, 06 Nov 2007 15:20:52 +0100 Subject: bug in gpa : encrypting to multiple keys In-Reply-To: <472F7BF2.1010907@meurrens.org> References: <472E3E67.8070704@meurrens.org> <200711051917.28068.bernhard@intevation.de> <472F7BF2.1010907@meurrens.org> Message-ID: <87lk9bpi9n.wl%marcus.brinkmann@ruhr-uni-bochum.de> At Mon, 05 Nov 2007 21:24:18 +0100, Marc Meurrens wrote: > About gpa on Ubuntu, GNU Privacy Assistant (a GUI to GNUPG) > > The last version of GNU/Linux Ubuntu 7.10 (october 2007) > still comes with gpa 0.7.0.

(and the necessity to replace the buggy gpa version 0.7.0 by a version >= 0.7.5) Our previous mails were related to Ubuntu 7.10 (last version today) This very note is related to Ubuntu 7.04 (previous version) (some users are forced to stay with 7.04 as their hardware may not be supported by 7.10) Regarding Ubuntu 7.04 (the previous version of Ubuntu), the installation of gpa 0.7.6 is a little bit more complicate than on Ubuntu 7.10 The reason is that gpa 0.7.6 (as well as gpa 0.7.5) relies on version 1.1.5 of gpgme, while only the version 1.1.2 of gpgme is provided with Ubuntu 7.04. (Ubuntu 7.10 already comes with version 1.1.5) So you first need to install a recent version of gpgme. Furthermore, to install gpgme 1.1.5 , you need to previously install gpgsm. Finally, here are the steps needed to install gpa 0.7.6 on Ubuntu 7.04 Download gpa-0.7.6.tar.bz2 from http://wald.intevation.org/projects/gpa/ Unpack in a directory gpa-0.7.6 (supposed to be on your Desktop in our example) Download gpgme-1.1.5.tar.gz from ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/gpgme/ Unpack in a directory gpgme-1.1.5 $ sudo apt-get build-dep gpa $ sudo apt-get install gpgsm $ cd Desktop/gpgme-1.1.5 $ ./configure --prefix=/usr $ make $ sudo make install $ cd ../gpa-0.7.6 $ ./configure --prefix=/usr $ make $ sudo make install The gpa entry will appear in your main menu (under "accessories"); the program is at /usr/bin/gpa Remark The 2 first apt-get entries can eventually be replaced by the explicit : $ sudo apt-get install make gcc g++ libc6-dev zlib1g-dev libgtk2.0-dev libgpgme11-dev gnupg gpgsm but, in this case, be carefull for typo's...
