[Pkg-mozext-maintainers] Bug#870073: enigmail: Does not encrypt and gives alerts after upgrade to Thunderbird 52

[Paul van der Vlis]

Package: enigmail
Version: 2:1.9.8.1-1~deb8u1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

After the security upgrade to Thunderbird version 52.2.1 Enigmail did not work
anymore. I've tried now Enigmail version 2:1.9.8.1-1~deb8u1 but it has the same
problem.  Because I could not install this version of Enigmail using apt, I've
downloaded it from here:
http://security.debian.org/debian-
security/pool/updates/main/e/enigmail/enigmail_1.9.8.1-1~deb8u1_all.deb
And installed it with "dpkg -i".

When I read an encrypted message in Thunderbird, I get this warning:
------
Enigmail Alert:
GnuPG reported an error in the communication with gpg-agent (a component of
GnuPG).
This is a system setup or configuration error that prevents Enigmail from
working properly and cannot be fixed automatically.
We strongly recommend that you consult our support web site at
https://enigmail.net/faq.
------
After this, the message is decrypted.

But when I sent a message to somebody with a PGP key in my keyring, the message
is normally encrypted. But not now, and I do not get a warning about that.

With Thunderbird 45 I did not have these problems.

With regards,
Paul van der Vlis
