The current state is that python-gnupg will be removed from wheezy on
26th of October unless action is taken before that date.
I believe that the patch provided by Dmitry Shachnev is unsuitable for
wheezy, because it ships a new upstream version. The release team will
be very hesitant to approve such a change. Is there any reason to to
believe otherwise?
To just hack the --quick-random into python-gnupg an easier measure can
be taken.
mkdir debian/bin
cat debian/bin/gpg
#!/bin/sh
GPG=`which -a gpg | uniq | tail -n+2 | head -n1`
exec $GPG --quick-random $@
Ctrl-d
chmod a+x debian/bin/gpg
Then invoke the testsuite with PATH=$(CURDIR)/debian/bin:$$PATH.
Unfortunately this is not enough. Some tests keep failing, because gpg
doesn't like --quick-random in all cases. This results in messages like
this:
DEBUG gnupg Thread-31 [GNUPG:] GOOD_PASSPHRASE
DEBUG gnupg Thread-31 gpg: key is not flagged as insecure - can't use it
with the faked RNG!
DEBUG gnupg Thread-31 gpg: no valid signators
DEBUG gnupg Thread-31 gpg: [stdin]: sign+encrypt failed: no such user id
So we better only give --quick-random only when generating keys.
cat debian/bin/gpg
#!/bin/sh
GPG=`which -a gpg | uniq | tail -n+2 | head -n1`
if echo $* | grep -q gen-key; then
exec $GPG --quick-random $@
else
exec $GPG $@
fi
Ctrl-d
And voila test suite works. This should be good enough for wheezy.
Please find my minimal .debdiff attached. I don't care which solution is
used, as long as some solution lands in wheezy. I will therefore try to
get my NMU .debdiff uploaded to some delayed queue. Please speak up asap
if you intend to fix this yourself.
