Gringotts broken in Dapper

[Janne]

I'm not sure if the broken package is Gringotts or libgringotts1 but the fact is that the application does not work.

It starts up ok and you can create a password protected file with it without a problem. However, when you try to open a .grg file it claims that the password is wrong even when it isn't.

The files are OK. I installed an older version of Gringotts and it works perfectly.

Tested with the x86 packages.

Just want to state that I see the same problem. I wasn't able to open a file I created with an older version (1.2.8 without any patches). I even copied the configuration file of the older version, but it still didn't work.

As I also got several aborts when opening the preferences dialog, I opened bug #39431 for these aborts.

[Dirk Bolte (dirk-bolte)]

got breezy running on another system. Breezy got nearly the same version of gringotts installed (1.2.8+1.2.9pre1-9ubuntu1). That version works without any problem. Installing 1.2.8-5 on dapper caused the same problems. I wonder whether gringotts itself or any dependent package is causing that error.

[Bjoern Schuemann (bjoerns)]

The problem is not in gringotts nor in libgringotts1 directly. I downgraded only libmhash2 to version 0.9.1-1 (the one from Breezy) and was able to reopen my files! After updating libmhash2 to 0.9.4a-1 (Dapper Version) the problems reappered.

This doesn't help for bug #39431.

[Janne (jjohanss)]

Well I suspect that there really is an incompatibility between libgringotts1 and libmhash2 binaries. I just rebuilt and installed libgringotts1_1.2.1-8_i386 and everything seems to work fine.

Since changing either will work, I think that the libgringotts1 should just be upgraded.

[Bjoern Schuemann (bjoerns)]

I can confirm this:
I did apt-get update & apt-get upgrade to get to the latest version of all libaries -> not working

apt-get build-dep libgringotts1
apt-get source --compile libgringotts1
dpkg -i libgringotts1_1.2.1-8_i386.deb

to rebuilt libgringotts solved the problem and I was able to access my files as normal. Only the update-manager still wants to update libgringotts1 to version 1.2.1-8. Why?

[Matt Brubeck (mbrubeck)]

Severity: critical because it renders package useless

[Raoul Verveer (lazy-r)]

I can confirm this too. Just installed latest version started gringotts and created a grg file.
When I tried to open the file again and entered my password, it says my password is wrong!

Confirming

I'll take care of it.

[StefanPotyra (sistpoty)]

Should be fixed with gringotts (1.2.8+1.2.9pre1-13)/libgringotts (1.2.1-9). Please reopen this bug if you still encounter problems.
