[Userland-team] [OpenIndiana Distribution - Bug #1220] gnupg executable name strangeness

[illumos project]

Issue #1220 has been updated by Josef Sipek.


Note that these aren't MY scripts dying but rather well known software that we ship.  For example, without this symlink, git can't sign tags, etc.  I think that *we* should make that symlink for the user.

Bug #1220: gnupg executable name strangeness
https://www.illumos.org/issues/1220

Author: Josef Sipek
Status: Closed
Priority: Normal
Assignee: OI Userland
Category: SFW (Solaris Freeware)
Target version: oi_151_stable
Difficulty: Bite-size
Tags: GnuPG


I installed pkg:/crypto/gnupg at 2.0.13-0.151, and to my surprise, there was no 'gpg' executable.  The executable that's installed is gpg2 (in /usr/bin).

Sadly, there are many utilities (including git) that assume that gpg is called gpg, and they fail in all sort of weird ways.  For example,

$ git tag -u C7958FFE foo
fatal: exec gpg failed.
error: gpg failed to sign the tag
fatal: unable to sign the tag
