I finally got on the right track when I noticed I could resurrect the functionality by manually starting gpg-agent and then setting up an appropriate GPG_AGENT_INFO environment variable (which should be unnecessary for gpg2). Turns out that the (fresh) installation of Cygwin on this machine which has exactly the same package selection was hosed up by a different package installation order: Some time ago the GnuPG2 package was changed to replace /usr/bin/gpg (and gpg2 is now a symlink to that), but of course the old gpg package installs it's own executable in exactly the same place. Guess which package was installed last… :-) Regards, Achim. -- +<[Q+ Matrix-12 WAVE#46+305 Neuron microQkb Andromeda XTk Blofeld]>+ Wavetables for the Waldorf Blofeld: http://Synth.Stromeko.net/Downloads.html#BlofeldUserWavetables -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
