Hi folks, well, has anyone recently tried to get the pgp ports to work? I did so today, and I made some diasppointing discoveries. I started with the pgp6 port. It built and installed fine, but when I tried to generate my key, it said "Floating Exception" and dumped core. The same happened also when doing a simple "pgp -h". So, I wiped pgp6 and tried pgp5. This let me start the key generation process, however, as soon as I selected what kind of key I wanted, it said "Received Signal 8" and hung. Looking at top on a different console showed that pgp5 was consuming a whole lot of CPU time, but even after 5 minutes, it wouldn't come up with a result of whatever it was doing, so I killed it. Repeated attempts didn't help me any further. The last thing I tried was then the pgp port (version 2). This one does indeed work - it let me generate a key, and from what I can say at this point, it seems to do as expected in conjucntion with mutt. So, does anyone have a clue what's up with the pgp5 and pgp6 ports? If someone is using these, it must have been my error that they wouldn't work for me, but right now, I really cannot imagine that I did something wrong.
