error: gpg required but not found!

[Juan Miscaro <jm...@gmail.com>]

I have sa-update running from cron every Sunday and on one of my
machines I get the output:

error: gpg required but not found!

I don't understand why I'm getting this.  The script says it ouputs
this when it can't find the gpg executable but it is there:

/usr/local/bin/gpg

Just like on all my other machines.  I'm thinking
Mail::SpamAssassin::Util::find_executable_in_env_path is not working
correctly.  The pertinent excerpt is:

my $GPGPath;
if ($GPG_ENABLED || $opt{'import'}) {
  # find GPG in the PATH
  # bug 4958: for *NIX it's "gpg", in Windows it's "gpg.exe"
  $GPGPath = 'gpg' . $Config{_exe};
  dbg("gpg: Searching for '$GPGPath'");

  if ($GPGPath =
Mail::SpamAssassin::Util::find_executable_in_env_path($GPGPath)) {
    dbg("gpg: found $GPGPath");

    # bug 5030: if GPGPath has a space, put it in quotes
    if ($GPGPath =~ / /) {
      $GPGPath =~ s/"/\\"/g;
      $GPGPath = qq/"$GPGPath"/;
      dbg("gpg: path changed to $GPGPath");
    }
  }
  else {
    die "error: gpg required but not found!\n";
  }

When I run the script at the command line I don't get any output.

Any ideas?

Cron does not use the same $PATH as your interactive shell. You'd need
to set the $PATH variable in your crontab to contain that path.

  error: gpg required but not found!

 /usr/local/bin/gpg

As someone else noted, cron typically has a restricted path.
I have

PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/pkg/bin/

at the beginning of crontab so that sa-update will find /usr/pkg/bin/gpg

I think it would be better if sa-update found gpg at configure time and
substituted in the path - I'd like to patch sa-update (in pkgsrc) to
work without /usr/pkg/bin in the path, but it seemed non-obvious how to
do that.  Perhaps just replace all the searching with

$GPGPath = "/usr/pkg/bin/gpg";
