Topic: Problems with cygwin gpg nad/or multiple subkeys

hi all!
I'm having problems with Firefox 2.0.0.4, FireGPG 0.4.1 and Cygwin gpg 1.4.5 with multiple subkeys on Windows XP.
I've followed the (in)famous tutorial at: http://fortytwo.ch/gpg/subkeys and looks like gpg is functioning ok, at least I can sign a file with something like "gpg -a -s test.txt".
Latest FireGPG update broke something and I can no longer sign portion of text with it, I only get an alert with (sorry, no copy/paste):

"Signing failed because of an uknown error... [GNUPG:] USERID_HINT....(my id here)... [GNUPG:] NEED PASSPHRASE .... [GNUPG:] GOOD PASSPHRASE ...".

FYI previous version was working ok, it just had those ugly cmd.exe screens ;-)

ciao

Re: Problems with cygwin gpg nad/or multiple subkeys

If there are ANY 'BAD_PASSPHRASE' in the result, he say that sign is false. He need a SIG_CREATED for say that the result is valide too. Can you do a screenshot of the Alert ?

(Our code has a logical problem, we have allready this with the decrypt, with multiple recipents, I suppose it's the same problem.)

He dosen't say he has made the sign...  It's strange.. you're sure that the FireGPG's update who did this ?

Re: Problems with cygwin gpg nad/or multiple subkeys

well, between 0.4.0 and 0.4.1 I just remove a couple of no longer used extensions.
I did try uninstalling firegpg, cleaning entries in global preferences file and reinstalling it again. same results.
Tomorrow I can try running it inside another profile (luckily, no ms windows at home :-P ).

Re: Problems with cygwin gpg nad/or multiple subkeys

Can you do a

gpg --quiet --no-verbose --status-fd 1 --armor --clearsign afile

?

It's you show an output like :

[GNUPG:] USERID_HINT [...] Maximilien Cuony <maxi_the_glu@bluewin.ch>
[GNUPG:] NEED_PASSPHRASE [...] [...] [...] [...]

a clean profile with FireGPG 0.4.1 still doesn't work (same error), while "gpg --quiet --no-verbose --status-fd 1 --armor --clearsign afile" works like a charm :-/
