Subject: seahorse-agent: fails to be accessed from debuild

Date: Tue, 09 Aug 2005 21:22:21 +0300

Package: seahorse
Version: 0.7.6-5
Severity: important

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

I launch searhorse-agent from my GNOME session startup files. This works well in GNOME applications such as Balsa or 
when executing 'gpg' form the command line, such as with 'caff' from the "signing-party" package. However, it fails 
whenever I build packages using debuild. What I get:

8X-----
Now signing changes and any dsc files...
 signfile gaim-irchelper_0.12-1.dsc Martin-Éric Racine <q-funk@iki.fi>

You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for

gpg: problem with the agent - disabling agent use

I then enter my passphrase, which gives me this:

Note: this bug might actually be caused by 'debuild' but I'm not sure how I would verify this. If you feel that this 
bug belongs to the "devscripts" package, you are welcome to reasign it to that.

 Yes, of course I also use seahorse and this is something I have been
suffering for long. But I haven't had managed to discover where the
problem is. After all it says "problem with the agent" but I dono't have
any idea. Anyway, I stopped my search when I run out of time, and I
haven't sent anything yet to gnupg mailing list. I will do so now.

 Tip: if after the build you use debsign, this works

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

As reported in the bug below when using seahorse-agent and debuild it
will always fail with the "problem with the agent - disabling agent use"
error (it also happens to me). But if I use debsign after build process,
I can sign the package using seahorse-agent fine.

I am completely lost about where should I start looking for the
bug/problem. This is why I am CCing both lists. Perhaps problem is in
debuild itself, but any hint on how debugging this would be appreciated.

 Thanks

I have now used 2 hours trying to pinpoint this problem, and have
finally narrowed it down to seahorse-agent wanting DISPLAY to be set in
order for it to be used. If you insert a "env" call in /usr/bin/debsign
- you will see that the DISPLAY variable has been removed (probably by
debuild in some way).

If you start seahorse-agent as a "non-deamonized" process using the -d
option when starting it you will receive a log message when debsign is
trying sign files like this:

** (seahorse-agent:14298): WARNING **: received passphrase request from
wrong terminal

And apparently wrong terminal means (DISPLAY variable different from the
one i was started with).

If i try doing a export DISPLAY=":0.0" in debsign before the gpg command
is run, the thing works fine!

So maybe this bug should be reassigned to devscripts and have them
preserve DISPLAY when calling debsign.

I might add that a quick fix is to add DISPLAY to the
DEBUILD_PRESERVE_ENVVARS list in either /etc/devscripts.conf or
~/.devscripts.conf

 Yay! Thanks for finding this. I will try to see if problem is
devscripts or seahorse, and the submit it to the proper place.

 Thanks for your work!

Subject: seahorse: DEBUILD_PRESERVE_ENVVARS must indeed preserve DISPLAY it seems

Date: Thu, 22 Dec 2005 13:58:49 +0200

Package: seahorse
Version: 0.8.0-1
Followup-For: Bug #322208

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

As others suggested, I tried the DEBUILD_PRESERVE_ENVVARS trick and,
sure enough, it fixes it. Personally, I would just reassign this bug 
to devscripts and ask the maintainers to fix this in their defaults, 
rather than argue about why seahorse-agent needs it and whether it's 
an acceptable programming choice.

debuild deliberately cleans as many environment variables as possible,
so that maintainers' environment variables don't accidentally slip
into and affect package builds.  I have no idea whether some package
would build incorrectly if DISPLAY is set.

I would prefer one of the following solutions:

- seahorse-agent should not rely on DISPLAY being correctly set
- set DEBUILD_PRESERVE_ENV=DISPLAY in the .devscripts file
- have Debian's version of seahorse-agent do something to handle this
  situation, for example by setting DEBUILD_PRESERVE_ENV
  appropriately, or by wrapping debuild

But if there is agreement that preserving DISPLAY is the correct way
to go, and that it is unlikely to have any effect on other package
builds, then we can go with that.

Subject: Also affects gpg-agent/pinentry-qt

Date: Thu, 28 Jun 2007 13:40:34 -0400 (EDT)

When using debuild and gpg-agent with pinentry-qt, a very similar failure
occurs:

gpg: cancelled by user
gpg: skipped "Scott Kitterman <scott@kitterman.com>": bad passphrase
gpg: [stdin]: clearsign failed: bad passphrase
debsign: gpg error occurred!  Aborting....
debuild: fatal error at line 1155:
running debsign failed

Adding DEBUILD_PRESERVE_ENVVARS="DISPLAY" to ~/.devscripts solves the
problem in this case too.

Hi,

	I've written a patch that doesn't preserve the DISPLAY
environment variable by the usual standard, but stores it out of the
way, and then sets it again before calling debsign.
