Tnx! I created a new Debian package that includes the fix...
Cheers, Chris.

Hi Stefan and Chris,
that is an embarrassing bug, fixed by the following:
--- src/main.c.~1.18.~ 2004-03-28 23:59:38.000000000 -0500 +++ src/main.c 2005-03-09 14:38:48.611616672 -0500 @@ -160,7 +160,7 @@ {"mismatch", 0, 0, 'm'}, {"envvar", 1, 0, 'E'}, {"key", 1, 0, 'K'}, - {"keyfile", 0, 0, 'k'}, + {"keyfile", 1, 0, 'k'}, {"prompt", 1, 0, 'P'}, {"suffix", 1, 0, 'S'}, {"strictsuffix", 0, 0, 's'},
What surprises me is that nobody seems to have noticed this before! I can trace this bug all the way back to the first release of ccrypt in October 2001.
I have fixed it now, but I won't be in a rush to make a bugfix release, considering that it took over 3 years for this to bother anyone. :)

Hi Stefan,
Thanks for your bug report. I quickly verified the issue described and you seem to be quite right.
Peter is very responsive when it comes to ccrypt, so I expect a fix soon.
Thanks, Chris.

Package: ccrypt Version: 1.7-5 Severity: normal
According to the man-page,
-k file, --keyfile file Read the keyword as the first line from the named file.
-K key, --key key
Specify the keyword on the command line.
However, --keyfile seem to be interpreted as --key, as shown below
$ echo secret > mykey
$ echo "Hello World" | ccencrypt --keyfile mykey > msg.cpt
Enter encryption key:
Enter encryption key: (repeat) $ echo "Hello World" | ccencrypt -k mykey > msg.cpt
ccencrypt: could not read key from mykey: No such file or directory
$ ls -l mykey*
-rw-r--r-- 1 alfs alfs 39 2005-03-09 09:49 mykey.cpt
[this means it encrypted the keyfile!]
$ echo secret > mykey
$ echo "Hello World" | ccencrypt -k mykey > msg.cpt
$
[ok, -k worked as it should]
This is probably a bug in the options handling, not directly related to the debian packaging, so I also CC the upstream on this one.
Regards, Stefan
