Description

I've installed GPG using MacPorts?, linked it to /usr/bin/gpg and restarted Mulberry. When I view a message with a signature (which I've validated on another machine), I get the following message:

Failed to Verify/Decrypt: GPG Plugin Error: PassSchedulingToken?: mach_msg failed ((ipc/send) invalid destination port)

System info: Mulberry version: 4.0.7

  • status changed from new to closed
  • resolution set to invalid

This is a RTFM problem -- I linked the GPG executable to /usr/local/bin as described in the wiki (instead of /usr/bin) and things appear to work fine now.

I reopen this because I think the GPG plugin should find gpg in /opt/local from MacPorts?. I don't think one should need to make additional symlinks in the /usr/local hierarchy.
