Secret keys unusable
Reported by Benjamin Donnachie | January 30th, 2011 @ 11:31 PM | in 2.0.18 (closed)
Two users have reported issues following MacGPG2 v2.0.17 installs whereby they receive errors concerning their secret keys being unusable.
Possibility this may be linked to removal of --disable-endian-check option from compile of libgcrypt.
New versions of libraries sent to affected users to test. Awaits confirmation of issue.
If confirmed, will trigger immediate new release.

- Tag set to critical
Confirmed not libgcrypt related, however confined to 32-bit systems only.
Pure 32-bit test version available from http://rapidshare.com/files/445517114/32-bit-MacGPG2-2.0.17-test1.zip
Remove MacGPG2, change to root directory and then unarchive:
sudo rm -fr /usr/local/MacGPG2 cd / sudo unzip path/to/file/32-bit-MacGPG2-2.0.17-test1.zip
Then rerun tests.

then unarchive:sudo rm -fr /usr/local/MacGPG2 cd / sudo unzip path/to/file/MacGPG2-64-32-attempt2.zip
Then rerun tests. Should it fail, just reinstall
32-bit-MacGPG2-2.0.17-test1 from earlier.I'll pick up the results in the morning (GMT).
Thank you for your patience with this!
Take care,

Have been unable to isolate the issue. Rebuilding 32-bit only version.

The 32bit test builds seem to solve the problems related to 32bit hardware.
I can create secret keys and I can encrypt and decrypt email with these keys.
During the key creation process, running gpg --gen-key in terminal.app, german characters like ä ö ü are printed a bit strange on screen. Just have a look:
s10e:Documents andreas$ gpg --gen-key
Bitte wählen Sie, welche Art von Schlüssel Sie möchten:

I tried setting up a friends machine. I experienced behaviour similar to the one described in this ticket, while using the latest GPGTools installer from 20110201 (couldn't import any keys in keychain, couldn't create a sec key ect).
I then tried the MacGPG alpha you posted on rapidshare and that solved the problem.
(just FYI)
