Hi,

today i was able to catch up on gnupg and IPv6 (somehow I missed the
primer before). Long story below, here's the short fix:

echo "SocksPort 9050 IPv6Traffic" >> /etc/tor/torrc # don't run it

I have two issues with gpg on debian buster. dirmngr constantly fails
(does not anymore) to search for keys:

$ gpg --search 74A941BA219EC810
gpg: error searching keyserver: Permission denied
gpg: keyserver search failed: Permission denied

### End of log


I stopped dirmngr several times, tried 'dirmngr --flush', started it
with 'dirmngr --debug-all --standard-resolver' when searching for keys.
It showed nothing so I assume gpg starts another instance of dirmngr in
the background. Removing ~/.gnupg did not help either.


My second issue is trying to install latest dirmngr from git:

$ git clone https://dev.gnupg.org/source/gnupg.git ; cd gnupg
# apt install libksba-dev libnpth0-dev libassuan-dev libgcrypt20-dev

### End of log


Therefor I went back to investigate the origin of "ERR 167804929".
It is not a hardcoded in gnupg or tor, at least it doesn't show up in
the source with rgrep.

With the help of google (my favourite search engine left me on this)
I became aware of this log from ealier dirmngr 2.1.18, quoting
<https://www.mail-archive.com/debian-bugs-dist@lists.debian.org/msg1614900.html>:

### End of quote


This error helped significantly, adding to torrc:

SocksPort PORT IPv6Traffic



It however may timeout with "No data" several times before succeeding.
Would be a great feature to catch this and retry for the sake of
scripted installations.

I imagine this could affect a lot of users, so it could have some
user time to restore this error message. Note that "gpg: DBG:
[not enabled in the source] stop" is the default packaged gnugp on
debian based systems.

Thanks for joining me on this interesting journey and please send back
suggestions on the compilation error. If you are interested, read part
two below when I try reproduce the error.

Best,
kardan


PartII: How to reproduct "Permission denied" with dirmngr

A usual quest after fixing an error is to try to make it happen again.
In this case, i removed the IPv6Traffic from the torrc line, stopped
tor altogether, killed all instances of dirmngr and gpgagent and
deleted the key:

$ gpg --delete-key 74A941BA219EC810
$ gpg --verbose --recv
74A941BA219EC810 gpg: data source:
https://216.66.15.2:443 gpg: ASCII-Hülle: Version: SKS
1.1.6 gpg: ASCII-Hülle: Comment: Hostname:
zimmermann.mayfirst.org gpg: pub  rsa2048/0xEE8CBC9E886DDD89
2009-09-04  deb.torproject.org archive signing key
...
gpg: Tiefe: 0  gültig:   6  signiert:   0  Vertrauen: 0-, 0q, 0n, 0m,
0f, 6u gpg: nächste "Trust-DB"-Pflichtüberprüfung am 2018-12-20
gpg: Anzahl insgesamt bearbeiteter Schlüssel: 1
gpg:                              importiert: 1

This is confusing because it should fail when tor is enabled:

$ cat ~/.gnupg/dirmngr.conf

###+++--- GPGConf ---+++###
use-tor
###+++--- GPGConf ---+++### Wed Jul 25 16:16:02 2018 CEST
# GPGConf edited this configuration file.
# It will disable options before this marked block, but it will
# never change anything below these lines.

And 'torsocks w3m http://ic6au7wa3f6naxjq.onion' fails as expected.

So either gnupg ships it's own tor instance and runs it hiddenly, or it
found out how to recycle the circuit of my TBB or it silently falls back
to non-tor connections which is a bug.

So here I am left unable to reproduce the error, but at least this story
will help some later me to solve it again.

Thanks for following part II, am happy to read your thoughts on my
remaining questions:

1.  is it hard to restore the error from 2.1.18 (where to start)

2. how to fix: No rule to make target 'audit-events.h'

3. How does dirmngr connect when no tor circuit is available

4. Why does a foreground dirmngr does not show connections

5. How to enable "DBG: [not enabled in the source]"

6. Where's the database to look up ERR 167804929

7. How can I change the timeout?

I know that all answers can be solved by looking at the code, but maybe
someone can save me some time and I might be able to prepare a patch
stub in the next days. Thanks for taking the time to go through all
this.

Have a nice day!
kardan
