Re: [Monotone-devel] Passphrase no more accepted?

'monotone --oe=/local/oe.db privkey address@hidden > privkey.txt'
'rm /local/oe.db' and download daily snapshot oe.db from web (& pull and update 
it)
'monotone --oe=/local/oe.db read privkey.txt'

If I want to change the passphrase of the key ('monotone --debug chkeypass
address@hidden'), I get this debug messages:

monotone: Read key pair 'address@hidden' from key store.
monotone: base64-decoding 859-byte private key
monotone: loading lua hook persist_phrase_ok
monotone: lua: extracted bool = 1
enter passphrase for key ID address@hidden:
monotone: have 634-byte encrypted private key
monotone: loading lua hook persist_phrase_ok

and so on...

I missed here some 'incorrect passphrase' messages. Is that usual?

I guess I was using 0.22 or 0.23 first (public/private key generation and export
with pubkey/privkey).


Thanks for your help.
