Bug Description

I'm trying to register my gpg key:

pub 1024D/C62AC3F4 2005-06-28 Ian Jackson (Canonical) <email address hidden>
     Key fingerprint = 5654 89CF 6F04 4556 3DEC 4B54 D394 138A C62A C3F4
uid Ian Jackson (Canonical) <email address hidden>
uid Ian Jackson (Canonical) <email address hidden>
sub 1024g/264381D8 2005-06-28

I entered it in Key Fingerprint in https://launchpad.net/people/ian-davenant/+editgpgkeys and Malone sent me an email. I saved the encrypted email to a file and:

On etch:
-anarres:mail> gpg t.asc
gpg: CRC error; 963A33 - DC3963
-anarres:mail>

On woody:
-davenant:~/mail> gpg t.asc
gpg: CRC error; 963a33 - dc3963
gpg: packet(5) with unknown version 149
-davenant:~/mail>

This is quite unusual -- I don't think I've ever seen or heard of this problem before (there are enough -- other -- gpg issues :). Can you reproduce this -- i.e. resubmitting the key and checking the message you receive?

Got exactly the same problem:

   florin@hermes$ gpg msg
   gpg: CRC error; 920BEA - DC3920

I am trying to decode using gpg 1.4.2 on a Debian machine (gnupg 1.4.2-2).

Florin, Ian: could you attach the file to the bug so we can inspect what was corrupted? Thanks.

Cristian,

Funny enough, the launchpad challenge was my oldest e-mail in my inbox. I have tried it now and it worked. The same Debian machine, just the version is now 1.4.5-1 .

Thanks,
florin

No, I'm afraid not. But I suspect that whatever the problem was has
been fixed either by an LP or GPG update.
