Package: gnupg-agent Version: 2.0.28-2 Severity: importatn This is a followup for the changes I made in gnome-keyring to use pinentry-gnome3 and gpg-agent [1]
We have important regressions with the new setup: A default ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf does not set "use-agent". As a result, /etc/X11/Xsession.d/90gpg-agent won't start a gpg-agent on session login. a/ without a running gpg-agent, gpg v2 doesn't cache any passwords. It spawns a gpg-agent process on demand, so we at least get a pinentry-gnome3 based prompt. b/ without "use-agent", gpg v1 will also not use gpg-agent/pinentry-gnome3 at all, but fall back to prompt directly on the console. Regarding gpg v2 I'm surprised that "use-agent" is still necessary. At least "man gpg2" says that --use-agent is a dummy, since gnupg agent is mandatory Any clever idea how we can address this? Should we start gpg-agent unconditionally in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/90gpg-agent? This would at least address a/.
