No, unfortunately not: # obnam --quiet .... ERROR: gpg: cancelled by user gpg: decryption failed: secret key not available It seems that inside screen, using gpg-agent's --keep-tty option seems to actually make it work. I'm pretty sure I tested the option before outside screen and it didn't work, but I haven't retested it. Generally though it seems that it expects to read the $GPG_TTY environment variable somehow ... not really sure how this is all supposed to work though. I guess for now I have a workaround, but it's a bit strange. johannes -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
