The previous commit raises an ERROR during PGP operations if OpenSSL does not support the cipher in use. However, any existing messages created with faulty encryption will no longer be accessible via pgp_[sym|pub]_decrypt(). To help users out of this situation, add a new ignore-cipher-failure option which reverts to the broken behavior during decryption only. A faulty encryption wrapper, created by an OpenSSL configuration that does not support the cipher, can then be stripped back off by that same OpenSSL in order to safely reencrypt it. (Note that when OpenSSL does support the cipher, corrupted messages will not be decrypted regardless of the ignore-cipher-failure setting; this is unchanged.) The new tests add a corrupted Blowfish message for both public- and symmetric-key decryption, resulting in the following test matrix: - Blowfish supported, default behavior: fails to decrypt - Blowfish supported, ignore-cipher-failure: fails to decrypt - Blowfish unsupported, default behavior: fails to load cipher - Blowfish unsupported, ignore-cipher-failure: strips faulty encryption The previous commit's change to the pubkey tests is expanded similarly: correctly encrypted messages cannot be decrypted by an OpenSSL that does not support the cipher, regardless of the option's setting, though the failure mode will change.

The PostgreSQL contrib tree
---------------------------
This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in
features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly
because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be
part of the main source tree. This does not preclude their
usefulness.
User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML
documentation.
When building from the source distribution, these modules are not
built automatically, unless you build the "world" target. You can
also build and install them all by running "make all" and "make
install" in this directory; or to build and install just one selected
module, do the same in that module's subdirectory.
Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or
types. To make use of one of these modules, after you have installed
the code you need to register the new SQL objects in the database
system by executing a CREATE EXTENSION command. In a fresh database,
you can simply do
CREATE EXTENSION module_name;
See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this
procedure.
