Package: ccrypt
Version: 1.7-5
Severity: normal
According to the man-page,
-k file, --keyfile file
Read the keyword as the first line from the named file.
-K key, --key key
Specify the keyword on the command line.
However, --keyfile seem to be interpreted as --key, as shown below
$ echo secret > mykey
$ echo "Hello World" | ccencrypt --keyfile mykey > msg.cpt
Enter encryption key:
Enter encryption key: (repeat)
$ echo "Hello World" | ccencrypt -k mykey > msg.cpt
ccencrypt: could not read key from mykey: No such file or directory
$ ls -l mykey*
-rw-r--r-- 1 alfs alfs 39 2005-03-09 09:49 mykey.cpt
[this means it encrypted the keyfile!]
$ echo secret > mykey
$ echo "Hello World" | ccencrypt -k mykey > msg.cpt
$
[ok, -k worked as it should]
This is probably a bug in the options handling, not directly related to
the debian packaging, so I also CC the upstream on this one.
Regards,
Stefan
