I am not able to decrypt saltpack message using keybase #3011

Open gilquinobi opened 7 years ago

gilquinobi commented 7 years ago

My message begins with this BEGIN KEYBASE SALTPACK ENCRYPTED MESSAGE.

I have used these instructions and also used the online keybase decrypt without any luck, please help

keybase decrypt --infile myfile.txt keybase decrypt -i myfile.txt -o decrypted.txt keybase saltpack myfile.txt

example I used keybase decrypt -i myfile.txt -o decrypted.txt

ERROR Wrong saltpack message type: wanted an encrypted message, but got an unknown message type instead

Client: 1.0.20-20170317111045+6cc2f52 Service: 1.0.20-20170317111045+6cc2f52

Could you include the whole error message please? We just shipped a v2 of the saltpack format, and that could've caused some problems, but it's hard to know without seeing the error.

That sounds like a v2 issue. What's the output of keybase version? Could you see if updating Keybase fixes the problem for you?

@gilquinobi This is an old version, can you upgrade?

For what it's worth, that does look like the wrong error message. We should be checking the version before we check the message type. I'll file a ticket for that.
