[Manjaro] Pius errors

[alexandre1985]

When running pius -s "...." "...." I get this error:

Welcome to PIUS, the PGP Individual UID Signer.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/pius", line 333, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/bin/pius", line 265, in main
    options.mail_host
  File "/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/libpius/signer.py", line 89, in __init__
    self.gpg2 = self._is_gpg2()
  File "/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/libpius/signer.py", line 121, in _is_gpg2
    m = re.match(r'^gpg \(GnuPG.*\) ([0-9\.]+)$', line)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.7/re.py", line 173, in match
    return _compile(pattern, flags).match(string)
TypeError: cannot use a string pattern on a bytes-like object

and if I change /usr/bin/pius shebang to #!/usr/bin/python2 I get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/pius", line 29, in <module>
    from libpius import mailer as pmailer
ImportError: No module named libpius

I need this fixed. Thank you

Are you using Debian?

[alexandre1985]

I'm using Manjaro Linux Deepin x64.
I installed pius through Manjaro's repository

[jaymzh]

Sounds like Manjaro installed it as a py3 app instead of a py2 app, incorrectly. py3 support is experimental at best.

Your best get is just to pull down a git clone of the repo here, and then cd into the directory and do:

python2 pius

And run it directly from the source tree. Feel free to file a bug upstream againt Manjaro to repackage it properly as well.

We're working on PIUS 3.0 which will by full (and only) python 3.

[alexandre1985]

I have download and build it from source.
I have cd into pius-2.2.7 directory, run: python2 ./pius -s "B13A XXXX XXXX XXXX" "1D51 XXXX XXXX XXXX" and I get this error:

pius: error: Keyring /home/me/.gnupg/pubring.gpg doesn't exist

[lechner]

Maybe run gpg one time to create the key ring?

[alexandre1985]

I have already have a gpg keyring. On ~/.gnupg/ there are (among others) pubring.kbx and trustdb.gpg files.
My gpg version is: 2.2.16

[jaymzh]

Ah yeah, it assumes the ring is in pubring, not keybox format. It should be smarter about that.

In the meantime, use -r to point it to your keyring.

[alexandre1985]

so it I should use -r ~/.gnupg?

[jaymzh]

no, -r ~/.gnupg/pubring.kbx

[alexandre1985]

;) 👍

[alexandre1985]

I'm have my secret key on a yubikey.
When running python2 ./pius -r ~/.gnupg/pubring.kbx -s "XXXX..." "XXXXX...." I get this:

...
Have you verified this user/key, and if so, what level do you want to sign at?
  0-3, Show again, Next, Help, or Quit? [0|1|2|3|s|n|h|q] (default: n) 0

Signing all UIDs on key XXXX.....
  There are 3 UIDs on this key to sign
  UID 1 (user@email.com):   ERROR: Agent reported an error.

gpg-agent problems, bailing out!

[jaymzh]

You're using py3 again, please use py2.

[alexandre1985]

Well, I'm not.
I have tried running both:

python2 ./pius -r ~/.gnupg/pubring.kbx -s "XXX...." "XXXX......"

and

python2 pius -r ~/.gnupg/pubring.kbx -s "XXX...." "XXXX......"

and I still get the error above
