[Bug 119038] Re: MASTER Key management / Recipient Key Selection broken (endless loop in EnigConvertToUnicode)

[Alexander Sack]

Martin, I added the required infos to summary ... gutsy package isn't
affected because it ships latest enigmail ... which doesn't have this
problem.

The patch replaces the Unicode functions with the ones from latest
enigmail. It was prepared by enigmail author and even released
officially in 0.94.3 iirc.

** Description changed:

+ 
+ SRU Info:
+ 
+ 1. impact: Key Management broken, Key Recipient dialog broken
+ 2. Addressed: patch 88_enigmail-fix-endless-loop-regression backports 0.95.x EnigConvertGpgToUnicode and EnigConvertToUnicode function ... which does not enter an infinite loop
+ 3. Patch: debdiffs attached for all variants
+ 4. Reproduce bug:
+   a) Open OpenPGP -> Key Management dialog ... see that it enters infinite loop finally asking you if you want to cancel the running script
+ 5. Regressions: No known Regressions; impact is considered low-risk
+ 
+ 
  This is an endless loop in EnigConvertToUnicode ... fix in preparation
  
  Feisty amd64.

  Following an apt-get upgrade a couple of days ago, in which mozilla-
  thunderbird was upgraded to the above version, it has become impossible
  to select keys in the Enigmail/OpenPGP extension.
  
  If I go to OpenPGP -> OpenPGP Key Management, a window opens but instead
  of listing all the public keys on my keyring the table is empty and an
  error window opens up saying "A script on this page may be busy, or it
  may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can
  continue to see if the script will complete." There are two buttons -
  "Continue" and "Stop Script".
  
  If I go to OpenPGP -> Edit Per_Recipient-Rules, and go through the
  dialogs to select a key that way, I end up with the same error message.
  
  For recipients for whom I have already selected a key to be used every
  time, I can send and receive signed and encrypted emails normally.
  
  gpg --list-keys works normally.
