Hi Maintainers,

Commit 2cf9e699ef0fc43a4eadaf00a1ed2f876765c64d breaks my Gnus setup.

    Author: F. Jason Park <jp <at> neverwas.me>
    Date:   Tue Nov 1 22:46:24 2022 -0700

    Make auth-source-pass behave more like other backends

I've reached this conclusion through 'git bisect'.  I.e. the commit which
immediately precedes it is not broken.

I haven't investigated why, but I do use 'pass' (www.passwordstore.org) to
  (require 'auth-source)
  (auth-source-pass-enable)
  (setq auth-sources '(password-store)) ;; don't use anything else

store my passwords securely.

This is my pass-related setup, which is pretty simple:

After the commit, M-x gnus is unable to connect to my local imap server.  There
is very little debug information.

João

This seems to be a perfect duplicate of bug#58985 (not sure why two bugs
were created back then).  Anyway, that bug was promptly addressed and
fixed by J.P. as described here.

Hello João,
thanks for the bug report! I wasn't able to reproduce your issue on
current master. Do you still experience the same problem?

I started emacs with the -Q option, evaluated this snippet:

(require 'auth-source)
(auth-source-pass-enable)
(setq auth-sources '(password-store))

and configured gnus-select-method. Credentials were successfully
decrypted and Gnus was able to connect without any issues. If you happen
to have the same issue, can you evaluate this snippet and confirm that
your pass entry is in the list? Thanks.

(let ((hostname "gmail")
      (user "username <at> gmail.com")
      (port 993))
  (auth-source-pass--generate-entry-suffixes hostname user port))

Oh, I didn't think of checking the archive. I'm glad your issue was
resolved. I'm therefore closing this bug.

Thanks João, take care.
