Package: gajim
Version: 0.16.8-4
Followup-For: Bug #874791
Dear Maintainer,
I am afraid the fix in 0.16.8-4 is not complete.
Now gajim sets GPG_BINARY to '/usr/bin/gpg2', but this binary is only
provided by the "gnupg2" package which is a transitional package and it
may not be always installed.
For example, on my system I end up with this error:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$ gajim

available.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A workaround is to install the gnupg2 package (if this is your preferred
solution then gajim should depend on the gnupg2 package), but I am not
sure this is the right solution, maybe setting GPG_BINARY = 'gpg' is
better? The original reporter of this bug was suggesting this too.
IIUC the versioned dependency on python-gnupg (>= 0.4.1) should assure
that the installed gnupg package (as an indirect dependency) is indeed
version 2.x and that the 'gpg' binary is indeed gpg2.
Ideally python-gnupg could make this clearer adding a versioned
dependency on gnupg (>= 2) but it's not a big deal.
Thanks,
Antonio
