Bug#1119981: kmail: Email encryption no longer works in KMail on Debian 13 - Trixie

Hello,

thank you for the reply.

Two questions if I may:
1) Does this mean that email encryption from within KMail will not be possible ( New mail > Encrypt is greyed out... ) 

2)  Will the upstream bugfix eventually arrive in Debian 13 Trixie?

Thank you.

Hi

Summary: You are correct. Use Kleopatra directly instead.

It seems it is correct that loading the GnuPG settings module in KMail doesn't
work.

But please note that the GnuPG settings module is just a component from
Kleopatra, so all the same settings can be reached using Kleopatra (and they
all configure the same GnuPG on your system).

It also seems like it is an upstream bug that has been fixed in later upstream
versions (by doing stuff quite much differently in the 25.04 and later series)

Sorry for the inconvenience.

/Sune

Dear Maintainer,

With gpg and kleopatra installed, when I go to:
Settings > Configure Kmail > Security > Encryption > GnuPG Settings ...

I receive the following error:
KPluginFactory could not create a KCModule instance from
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-
gnu/qt6/plugins/pim6/kcms/kleopatra/kleopatra_config_gnupgsystem.so

At first I thought a component might be missing, then did sudo apt install
kde- full, however, the error persists. I now wonder if it could be related
with the transition from Plasma- and QT v.5 to v.6?

NB. encryption worked flawlessly on Debian 12.

Best wishes and thanks,
Tom
