Roundcubemail: crypt-gpg-pinentry error on upgrade

[mjnewton]

Reporting of this issue is caveated by my admission that the issue is somewhat over my head in terms of my knowledge surrounding it and so I am reporting it at face value.

I am upgrading from v1.2.5 to v1.3.0 using the 'complete' package here. When I update composer's dependencies with php composer.phar update --no-dev I get the following error and composer aborts (leaving Roundcube inaccessible):

- Installing pear/crypt_gpg (v1.6.0)
    Downloading: 100%         

  [ErrorException]                                                             
  file_put_contents(<path to my roundcube installation>/vendor/bin/crypt  
  -gpg-pinentry): failed to open stream: No such file or directory`

Looking in the vendor/bin/ directory, crypt-gpg-pinentry is a symlink to ../pear-pear.php.net/Crypt_GPG/bin/crypt-gpg-pinentry but I am missing the pear-pear.php.net directory from vendor/.

Removing the "pear/crypt_gpg": "~1.6.0" dependency from composer's composer.json file allows the upgrade to complete (and Roundcube to function) however I am not sure if this really is the best solution - perhaps I just don't need the functionality that crypt-gpg-pinentry is providing or I just haven't (yet) discovered the fact that I actually do?

vendor/bin/crypt-gpg-pinentry link points to vendor/pear/crypt_gpg/scripts/crypt-gpg-pinentry in 1.3. The symlink you've got is probably from the old version and composer has problem in updating it. Did you use bin/installto.sh script? I expect it to sync vendor folder properly.

[mjnewton]

My crypt-gpg-pinentry symlink it is dated 28th April and so presumably indeed exists from an old(er) version.

I did use bin/installto.sh but I must admit to not recalling what its full output was. Is there any way of being able to re-run the script to see what it does/doesn't do? (As things stand it of course detects I am already up-to-date). I am wondering if this might be beneficial in case there is anything besides this symlink that didn't get updated/sync'd.

[alecpl]

So, if composer.json file exists /vendor folder is not touched when running installto.sh script. This means that the problem is in composer itself. Here's a complete output of composer update after upgrading 1.2.5 to 1.3.0.

Thanks Aleksander.

I updated my vendor/bin/crypt-gpg-pinentry link to points to vendor/pear/crypt_gpg/scripts/crypt-gpg-pinentry and composer now updates without issue

[vookimedlo]

Great! Works also for me. Thanks!

[ponchofiesta]

Fix doesn't work for me. vendor/pear/crypt_gpg doesn't exist. Is there a way to fix this?

[th3penguinwhisperer]

I had the same error however for me I had to delete this file:
vendor/bin/crypt-gpg-pinentry

After that ran the composer update --no-dev again and installation of crypt-gpg went fine.

Composer developers will not work on this issue, neither I.
