Cannot verify this signed file

Please help me in understanding how verify this file signed by me using Kleopatra and Cacert X.509 certificate.
When I sign then Kleopatra tells me that all is OK:

Data signing succeeded

Yes

Data available

Yes

(data hash algorithm: SHA256)

Signer 1

Okay

(attr hash algorithm: SHA256)

(#133363/1.2.840.113549.1.9.1=#737570706F7274406361636572742E6F7267,CN=CA Cert Signing Authority,OU=http://www.cacert.org,O=Root CA)

(/1.2.840.113549.1.9.1=#64616E69656C654073696E617073692E6F7267,1.2.840.113549.1.9.1=#64616E69656C652E70617373616C616371756140676D61696C2E636F6D,CN=CAcert WoT User)

(/xxxx@gmail.com)

(/xxxxx@xxxxx.org)

But whenever I use Kleopatra to verify it then I get this:

Data decryption succeeded

Yes

Data available

No

Encryption algorithm supported

No

Number of recipients

0

AND:

Note: You can not be sure who encrypted this message because it is not signed.

and if I try to save the result I get a 0 byte (empty) file!

Thanks.

Hi Dan,

Can you describe what you are trying to archive? Can you tell us more about your setup and Computer and the installed Version of Gpg4win?

I downloaded you file and see that the signature is invalid but without more information I can only guess what is wrong with the file.

Best wishes,
Jochen

I am using Kleopatra 3.0.0 on windows 10

(data hash algorithm: SHA256)

Okay

(attr hash algorithm: SHA256)

(#133363/1.2.840.113549.1.9.1=#737570706F7274406361636572742E6F7267,CN=CA Cert Signing Authority,OU=http://www.cacert.org,O=Root CA)

But If I try to decrypt and verify:

And I save the result will be an empy file (0 byte)!

Hey Dan,

Can you please activate your local logging (explained in the gpg4win compendium[1] in chapter 23.4). These logs help us to understand what Kleopatra tries to do and if there are any issues with the current workflow in Kleopatra itself or if there is an error with the configuration.

Please feel free to clean up the log files before uploading them.

Best wishes,
Jochen

Hey,

Have you restarted your PC (or all of the Gpg4win Components) afterwards?

Best wishes,
Jochen

Yes, I did restart the PC.
No log file written or found on my PC.

Since we received several similar requests to yours, I opened a bug-report: https://dev.gnupg.org/T3442

We will keep that updated!
