I think we have another report on this in the tracker. The problem is indeed the ugly Windows time functions to print a string. Let me only remeber that untile a few years, Windows had the opinion that Germany is the the Westeuropäische Zeit, i.e. Portugal or the UK.

That is quite possible because we do not have a test system for RISC-V and the make release tarbegt is not abale to verify this.

I think it would be much better if GnuPG automatically performed a key listing immediately after key generation when a smartcard is involved. This would allow GnuPG to detect the presence of the subkey on the card right away, rather than leaving it marked as a stub until the user manually lists keys.

I see that you generated the secret encryption subkey with backup. This means that the secret subkey is generated on your computer, then copied to the card, and then deleted from your computer. The deletion is the reason why the subkey is marked as stub. Only after listing the keys on the card gpg notices that the secret key is actually on the card.

my win10 vm was also installed with german language

Note that screenshot was made with a gpg from the 2.2 branch.
And on a Windows VM which was (I'm quite sure) installed in German from the start.
In case it matters…

btw, my clue was that in that last --check-sigs, if i used --debug-all i got this:

This affects certification-only primary keys when doing web-of-trust calculations.

works for me, thanks

Backported for VSD 3.3.x

yes please!

The status bar is now updated in case the VERSION file is loaded after the main window was created.

Kleopatra does not show version information in the status bar. It does show whatever is stored in the VERSION file under the key statusline in the group [Kleopatra].

looks good to me on gpg4win-5.0.0-beta167@win10

In libgcrypt/cipher/ecc-ecdsa.c, we have:

mpi_mulm (s, k_1, sum, ec->n);    /* s = k^(-1)*(hash+(d*r)) mod n */

Hi Werner, I submitted a patch right after this bug report using AC_CHECK_DECLS([_sys_siglist]) [1].

The first call of get_key receives the following key listing from gpg:

Right now we have

Interesting, that sounds like a portable method. I am not very familiar with GPG internals, but to me that sounds like quite a bit of work. Unless there is another benefit to doing so, I don't think it is worth it just to print signal names.

Yep, I wrote a small client and server just to verify that it is functional.

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.

Should be fixed.

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.

And the US administration might even change the definition of a year to, say, 100 months so that potus can rightfully keep his promise that there won't be more election in the foreseeable future ;-)

By the way, "years" is also "incorrect" once in ~4 years because it uses n*365 days. Werner's advice still applies. Enter an ISO date if you want an exact date. Or use a UI tool like Kleopatra.

tested @ikloecker

The following patch for gpgme 1.24 should fix the test.
