#1 Updated by hans about 4 years ago
- Target version set to 0.2
I've seen this bug before, it only seems to happen with certain keys or configurations. I did fix a couple of jitsi bugs recently. I just pushed the 0.2 version, could you update and try again?
#2 Updated by hans about 4 years ago
- Target version changed from 0.2 to 0.2.1
#3 Updated by tester about 4 years ago
Hans,
I did an upgrade to get the latest version (still reporting as 0.1) and the issue persists when trying to convert jitsi (mutiple otr keys - xmpp, yahoo gtalk, etc)
Gajim with one xmpp key works fine

Tested with 0.2.1.1, still failing
$ keysync -i jitsi

Yeah, 0.2.1.1 didn't address this issue, unfortunately. We can't reproduce it, so it is very difficult for us to track down this issue. And since it is your private key, you shouldn't send it to us. So either someone can generate a test key that causes this problem, or someone whose key is affected needs to debug it.
#6 Updated by tester about 3 years ago
Hans, what can I do to help debug?
And yes, correct about the not sending private key. The file its self also has multiple keys for various services (xmpp, yim, icq, msn, gtalk etc) possibly part of the problem?
#7 Updated by hans about 3 years ago
My guess is that having multiple services doesn't matter. The issue is in the parsing of the key. My guess it is related to something like wrong padding in the base64 string.
