Package: pinentry-gnome3 Version: 1.3.3-2 Severity: normal Tags: patch As reported upstream on [email protected] in message id:cafh6oawx7_nvxc1pwdayx-s3tzxgg_bneyspzmg5duhca63...@mail.gmail.com , when G_MESSAGES_DEBUG is set to some more verbose value, pinentry-gnome3 chokes by dumping Glib/Gcr messages to stdout, which interferes with the assuan connectivity.
Kernc has provided a patch on that mailing list, attached here.
From: Kernc <[email protected]> By default, GLib/Gcr/libsecret outputs debug/info logging messages to stdout, but we use that as the Assuan channel, and outputting to it anything but the expected verbs breaks pinentry pipelines in confusing ways. It is unknown whether a similar patch is needed for gtk-2 or other flavors via the 'CLEARPASSPHRASE' command, nor if G_MESSAGES_DEBUG needs unsetting from the environment. An old user reports Gtk-warnings even with pinentry-qt, but their issue needs more verification. https://web.archive.org/web/20260629091849/https://dev.gnupg.org/T4144.html Care must be placed in who inherits our Assuan fds and what they do with them.
