Package: semi
Version: 1.14.6+0.20100219-1
Severity: normal
Support for Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (S/MIME) is
completely broken with SEMI that ships with Debian GNU/Linux.
The problem is, that the S/MIME library which is part of SEMI is not
in load-path, so SEMI uses the S/MIME functions provided by the S/MIME
library of Gnus (which is part of current Emacsen).
Both libraries are incompatible: For instance `smime-verify-region' of
Gnus' smime.el takes only begin and end of region, while SEMI expects
the function to take a third argument with the detached signature. As
far as I can see this incompatibility affects all functions used by
SEMI.
Moreover, the S/MIME library of SEMI refers to a program called "smime"
to handle S/MIME, but this program seems not to be available in Debian
GNU/Linux (e.g. packages.debian.org does not know of such a program).
I don't know what the right course of action is here:
1. if we move SEMI's smime.el back in load-path, rename it and its
functions and make SEMI call these renamed functions, the problem
of the missing program "smime" remains.
-or-
2. we could make a Debian specific patch that makes SEMI use Gnus'
S/MIME functions properly and upstream might incorporate this
patch
-or-
3. fix it in upstream by providing an updated SEMI specific smime
library that uses OpenSSL and/or GnuTLS
Option 2. seems best to me.

SEMI-EPG patch is integrated in 1.14.7~0.20120428-2, and SEMI's
smime.el is not required anymore.
Closing this bug.
