Hello,
I have two Debian machines, Debian 11 for work and Debian 10 for
personal laptop. On both I use Thunderbird and OpenPGP. I used to use
GnuPG until Thunderbird decided to drop GnuPG support for it's own
broken, half-baked implementation. Although it was annoying form many
reasons¹, I used it.
But recently, it the last fow days, when upgrading some minor version of
Thunderbird on both work and personal laptops, the Thunderbird built-in
keystore has no private keys anymore, the upgrade deletes them ! It's
would be much on an issue if I could reimport them again, I have backup
and I still have the GnuPG keystore from which I could export
Armored-ASCII keys if needed… But Thunderbird can't even import it's own
backup (Armored-ASCII for both public and private keys).
For private keys, it just outputs "Error : Failed to import file" before
even asking for the backup passphrase
For public keys, I get a "failed to import the keys" error messages
That doesn't give me anything to work with ? How can I debug that?
1. first PEP trying to generate it's own keys again and again when
deleted and used by default, bypassing imported keys… which required to
disable some tupid option activated by default… Then not not supporting
individual private key passphrases… (instead of a masterpasswonrd or no
password at all)
