================================================================ Dear Bug Team! When one updates the package index via #'package-get-update-base, with verification by GPG, approx. 1 out of 5-10 times the system tells `The message is corrupt'. I use gpg 1.2.5. Frankly, I don't believe that the fetched index was really corrupt. I append an EFS buffer where it happened at the 5th try. The amount of bytes that got transferred is the same as in the previous times where verification succeeded. When one tries again, it usually succeeds again -- once, I had two `corrupt message' in a row. I haven't found a method to tell EFS that it shall keep its temporary files in /tmp/$USER; it would ease the analysis of this problem. Is there a variable somewhere? aproposing efs didn't show anything obvious. Cheers, Joachim ================================================================ System Info to help track down your bug: --------------------------------------- uname -a: Linux galerkin 2.6.8.1 #1 Wed Oct 6 09:16:23 UTC 2004 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux ./configure 'i386-suse-linux' '--with-gcc' '--dynamic' '--rel-alloc' '--debug=no' '--error-checking=none' '--cflags=-O2 -march=i586 -mcpu=i686 -fmessage-length=0 -Wall -Wall -Wno-switch -pipe -O2 -march=i586 -mcpu=i686 -fmessage-length=0 -Wall -fno-strict-aliasing' '--ldflags=-s' '--prefix=/usr' '--exec-prefix=/usr' '--bindir=/usr/X11R6/bin' '--datadir=/usr/share' '--archlibdir=/usr/lib/xemacs/21.4.15/i386-suse-linux' '--docdir=/usr/lib/xemacs/21.4.15/i386-suse-linux' '--lispdir=/usr/share/xemacs/21.4.15/lisp' '--pkgdir=/usr/share/xemacs/21.4.15/lisp' '--etcdir=/usr/share/xemacs/21.4.15/etc' '--statedir=/var/lib/xemacs' '--moduledir=/usr/lib/xemacs/21.4.15/i386-suse-linux/modules' '--infodir=/usr/share/xemacs/info' '--mandir=/usr/share/man/man1' '--with-database=gnudbm,berkdb' '--with-ncurses' '--with-tty=yes' '--with-site-lisp' '--with-sound=native' '--with-gpm' '--pdump' '--with-xpm' '--with-gif' '--with-tiff' '--with-jpeg' '--with-png' '--with-x' '--with-athena=3d' '--wit h-menubars=lucid' '--with-scrollbars=lucid' '--with-dialogs=athena' '--with-widgets=athena' '--x-includes=/usr/X11R6/include' '--x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib' '--with-mule' '--with-xim=xlib' '--with-xfs' '--with-clash-detection' '--with-ldap' '--with-pop' XEmacs 21.4.15 "Security Through Obscurity" configured for `i386-suse-linux'.
