Package: mutt
Version: 1.9.4-3
Severity: normal
Hello!
This is a relatively new bug introduced at some point in the last year
or so (I don't remember the last time I signed a message using mutt).
My .muttrc includes the following line:
set pgp_sign_as=0x725E9D6EE56FCAD6C339A7F259D03CC92BA0FEAE
(which is my key id), and my .gnupg/gpg.conf includes the line:
keyring /usr/share/keyrings/debian-keyring.gpg
Since my GPG key is in the Debian keyring, I observe the following:
erdos:~ $ gpg --list-options show-keyring --list-secret-keys 0x59D03CC92BA0FEAE
Keyring: /home/jdg/.gnupg/pubring.gpg

erdos:~ $
and the same key is reported twice, as the public key is found on two
separate keyrings.
In the past, mutt had no problem with this, but now, mutt is
complaining with the message:
ambiguous specification of secret key
`0x725E9D6EE56FCAD6C339A7F259D03CC92BA0FEAE'?
when I try to send a message with a signature, and it does not allow
me to do this. Commenting out the keyring line in gpg.conf allows the
signed mail to be sent, but it seems to me that the original behaviour
was probably better: if the only ambiguity is that two copies of the
same key are found, then the message should just be signed anyway.
Alternatively, the search should be performed by looking at the secret
keyrings rather than the public keyrings, if that is a meaningful
thing to do.
Best wishes,
Julian
