Package: gnupg2
Version: 2.0.20-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

gpg2 decryption (-d) functionality doesn't work if the secret key is stored
on an OpenPGP card and the key length is large (4096 bits). This is a known
bug that has been fixed in GPG 2.0.20. More info is here:

http://gnupg.10057.n7.nabble.com/Re-Card-fails-to-decrypt-using-4096-bit-key-td15173.html

I get the same error message as the bug reporter in that thread, ie.

> gpg: public key decryption failed: General error
> gpg: decryption failed: No secret key

A fix for this bug was applied in revision
905b6a36d3ca21b2f619721e1de892398e5eb759 to the GPG git repository. I have
built my own gnupg2 2.0.20 package from source and this resolves the problem
for me, but it would be nice to have this fix applied to the stable Debian
version.
