RegistryKeyring failing intermittently #30

Closed jaraco closed 5 years ago

jaraco commented 5 years ago

It seems that the delete sometimes fails even though that same code also succeeds. Maybe there's a race condition in the delete logic... or maybe there's an error on certain values (for system). I can see that the backend is doing simple string interpolation to inject the system name into the registry key. That can't be safe for reserved characters like \.

It does seem that backslash characters aren't allowed in the key.
