Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.20.7.1
Severity: minor
Dear all,
I just stumbled in this annoying situation. I do not know
if this may be classified as a bug in dpkg-buildpackage or in gpg.
If I call dpkg-buildpackage to build my package , at a certain point
it calls (as seen in a strace output)
execve("/usr/bin/gpg", ["gpg", "--utf8-strings", "--textmode", "--armor",
"--local-user", "A Mennucc1 <mennu...@debian.org>", "--clearsign", "--output",
"dpkg-sign.jze_WfLt/debdelta_0.67.dsc.asc",
"dpkg-sign.jze_WfLt/debdelta_0.67.dsc"], 0x5593f918e990 /* 95 vars */) = 0
Now, I have two keys with that username, an older DSA key, disabled,
and a newer RSA key, that is
$ gpg --list-sec "A Mennucc1 <mennu...@debian.org>"
sec dsa1024/0xF41FED8E33FC40A4 2000-03-14 [SCA]
sec rsa4096/0x57CCF4596A1353C2 2014-09-28 [SC]
For some weird reason, gpg selects the first one.
Let me stress that in ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf I have:
default-key 0x57CCF4596A1353C2!
so that I am usually signing everything with the correct key.
But here comes the funny part: if I use `debuild -S`, it instead
uses the correct key (!)
According to `strace`, it does
"/usr/bin/gpg", ["gpg", "--local-user", "0x57CCF4596A1353C2", "--clearsign",
"--list-options", "no-show-policy-
urls", "--armor", "--textmode", "--output",
"/tmp/debsign.XyM6Vi4v/debdelta_0.67.dsc.asc", "/tmp/debsign.XyM6Vi4v/debdelta_0
.67.dsc"
How could we fix this?
I uploaded some packages this week, and some times they were rejected
(silently), and I lost a lot of time in understanding what was wrong.
