Title:
Unwanted private key revocation
Status in seahorse:
Expired
Status in seahorse package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
Binary package hint: seahorse
When double-clicking on a revocation certificate of a private key (saved to
disk in case the private key is not save anymore / one forgets the key's
password), seahorse will automatically revoke that private key without first
asking: Are you sure.
I today accidentially revoked my main PGP key that way. This should not
happen. Seahorse should as first!
Steps to reproduce:
1) Create a new gpg key. (Lets say it's AABBCCDD)
2) gpg --gen-revoke AABBCCDD
3) copy the revocation certificate to a text file (revk_cert_AABBCCDD.txt) so
that it looks like:
-----BEGIN PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----
Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux)
Comment: A revocation certificate should follow
foObArfOofoObArfOofoObArfOofoObArfOofoObArfOofoObArfOofoObArfOofoObArfOofoObArfOo
foObArfOofoObArfOofoObArfOofoObArfOofoObArfOofoObArfOo/d
=FooBa
-----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----
4) Have seahorse-plugins installed
5) Accidentially double-click on revk_cert_AABBCCDD.txt
6) Your key is gone!
This should not happen. Between 5) and 6) there should be a
confirmation dialog.
