[Pkg-mozext-maintainers] Bug#803947: enigmail: completely broken after upgrade of gnupg2 to 2.1.9

[Philipp Huebner]

Package: enigmail
Version: 2:1.8.2-4
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Hi,

after upgrade of gnupg2 to 2.1.9 enigmail becomes pretty much useless,
at least when used under KDE / Plasma 5.

Encrypting/Decrypting doesn't work anymore and key-management is seriously
impacted as there's no longer any popup window asking for the passphrase
of the private key.

Downgrading to gnupg2=2.0.28-3 gnupg-agent=2.0.28-3 gpgsm=2.0.28-3
scdaemon=2.0.28-3 solves all problems.

extensions.enigmail.useGpgAgent is set to false, but this setting seems
to be ignored with newer gnupg2 versions.

This behaviour was observed on several independent computers all running
KDE / Plasma 5.

Regards,
Philipp
