Please help me figure out why Exmh stopped working with PGP 5 on my system
a few days ago.
A few days ago, Exmh just suddenly stopped interfacing with PGP5 on my
FreeBSD 4.9 system. It happened as I was updating some FreeBSD ports
utilities I use, but Exmh was not one of them, though tcl, tk, and
metamail were.
Yes, I know that the FreeBSD ports have stopped supporting PGP5, but I
have resolutely refuesd to let ports processing remove pgp5 from my
system. And Exmh has not stopped supporting PGP5. One of these days,
I'll get around to switching over to GPG, but in the meantime I need to
continue to be able to read PGP encrypted e-mail.
The FreeBSD ports that were being updated as Exmh chose not to use PGP
were:
+ lang/python (python-2.3.3_2)
+ lang/tcl84 (tcl-8.4.5,1)
+ security/pidentd (pidentd-2.8.5)
+ audio/libaudiofile (libaudiofile-0.2.5)
+ audio/esound (esound-0.2.32_1)
+ graphics/libmng (libmng-1.0.5_1)
+ x11-toolkits/tk84 (tk-8.4.5,1)
+ devel/t1lib (t1lib-5.0.0_1)
+ misc/gnomehier (gnomehier-1.0_13)
+ print/lyx (lyx-1.3.3_1)
+ mail/metamail (metamail-2.7_1)
+ devel/gnomevfs2 (gnomevfs2-2.4.2_1)
+ graphics/gimp-devel (gimp-2.0.pre3_1,1)
+ x11-toolkits/py-gtk2 (py23-gtk-2.0.0_1)
+ editors/AbiWord2 (AbiWord2-2.0.3_2)
+ x11-toolkits/gtksourceview (gtksourceview-0.7.0_1)
An "ls -l /usr/local/bin/pgp*" yields:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 717645 May 3 2003 /usr/local/bin/pgp5*
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 4 May 3 2003 /usr/local/bin/pgpe@ -> pgp5
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 718009 May 3 2003 /usr/local/bin/pgpk*

lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 4 May 3 2003 /usr/local/bin/pgpv@ -> pgp5
An "fgrep pgp /usr/local/bin/exmh" yields:
set pgp(gpg,path) /usr/local/bin
set pgp(pgp,path) /usr/local/bin
set pgp(pgp5,path) /usr/local/bin
set pgp(pgp6,path) /usr/local/bin
An "fgrep pgp ~/.exmh/exmh-defaults" yields:
*pgpSeditPgp: 0
*pgpSeditPgpExtras: 0
*pgpSign: none
*pgpEncrypt: 0
*pgpFormat: pm
*pgpVersion: pgp5
*pgpNoVersion: pgp5

*pgp5CacheIds: persistent

*pgp5ShortMessages: 1
*pgp5AutoExtract: 0
*pgp5KeyServer: pgp-public-keys@keys.pgp.net
*pgp5KeyQueryMethod: hkp
*pgp5HKPKeyServerUrl: pgpkeys.mit.edu
*pgp5KeyServerURL: http://pgp5.ai.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&sear
ch=0x%s
*pgp5KeyOtherMethod: pgpk -a hkp://pgpkeys.hq.nasa.gov/$id > $tmp
Yet, the Exmh Preferences menu shows no PGP options at all, the Exmh mail
display function shows no inclination to resolve signatures or offer
decryption, and the simple editor offers no signature or encryption
options. My guess is that something has become corrupted in
~/.exmh/exmh-defaults, but I haven't a clue what.
Any help will be appreciated.
