[Bug 2009825] Re: snap thunderbird cannot sign messages with external gnupg

Thu Mar 9 13:11:12 UTC 2023

** Description changed:

  Thunderbird supports smartcards through the external GnuPG option: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird:OpenPGP:Smartcards. However, the snap package cannot sign outgoing messages this way and errors out.
  Works (apt list): thunderbird/jammy-updates,jammy-security,now 1:102.7.1+build2-0ubuntu0.22.04.1 amd64 [installed]
  Does not work (snap list): thunderbird  102.8.0-2  297  latest/stable  canonical✓  -

  I don't know if this is an expected consequence of the sandboxed
  environment, but could not find the error anywhere else reported.

  To reproduce:
  Set mail.openpgp.allow_external_gnupg to true.
  Add external key in account settings. Key is found and set.
  Compose empty e-mail message to self, tick Digitally Sign option.

  Result:
  Message fails to send.

  Error console output:
