After the massive updates to -current (truly amazing amount of work!), and the subsequent updates to the security patches that followed, I upgraded all via slackpkg. Everything seemed to go swimmingly.
Then, because I sometimes exhibit anal-retentive characteristics (and to be thorough), I decided to resync (and take any needed actions) the various SlackBuilds that I have using sbopkg (excellent tool).
When I attempt that, I get the following:
Code:
root@yurt:~# sbopkg -r
Syncing with the remote repository into /var/lib/sbopkg/SBo/14.1.
receiving incremental file list
sent 5,461 bytes received 972,349 bytes 130,374.67 bytes/sec
total size is 71,404,974 speedup is 73.03
Rsync with the SBo repository for Slackware 14.1 complete.
Importing SBo repository for Slackware 14.1 GPG Key...
gpg: DBG: armor-keys-failed (KEY 0x0000000000000000 BEGIN
) ->0
gpg: DBG: armor-keys-failed (KEY 0x0000000000000000 END
) ->0
Import done.
***SYNC COMPLETE***
I'm sure this is a side-effect of the security update to gpg, but am not sure how to correct this.
GnuPG 1.4.19's armor check prints extraneous debug output that doesn't appear to impact sbopkg (beyond littering the screen). I don't
use sbopkg so please confirm if this is not the case.
If you're interested, GnuPG fixed this in commit f34d88364a98494. Rebuilding GnuPG 1.4.19 with that patch should get rid of the junk.
There's a bit of good news in the latest current upgrades - seems Willy Sudiarto passed our analysis on to Pat.
Code:
Sat Apr 25 23:13:15 UTC 2015
n/gnupg2-2.0.27-i486-2.txz: Rebuilt.
Patched to fix spurious debug messages that may break sbopkg and slackpkg.
Thanks to Willy Sudiarto Raharjo.
Unfortunately, only GnuPG-2 was fixed and I believe sbopkg and slackpkg use GnuPG-1.
If you run -current it's possible to use the patch provided in /source/n/gnupg2 on gnupg and add the appropriate to line the gnupg.SlackBuild
That's because the patch being applied to GnuPG-2 in -current is actually the patch against GnuPG-1 that I provided in post #2. It
happens to apply to GnuPG-2 (with offsets) because of the shared code-base but the clean patch against GnuPG-2 is actually 936416690e6c.
