Indeed. :) I'm just doing a huge cleanup in the monkeysign issue queue here. :) > Antoine Beaupré wrote: >> On 2013-09-15 15:28:23, Markus Teich wrote: >> > I have 'interactive' set in my gpg.conf. >> >> ...why? > > I don't know, why I had it, but I just checked and apparently I disabled it > sometime in the last 3 years.

The only thing left is whether we forward it to the upstream GPG bugtrackers or assign it to the gnupg package in the Debian BTS. We would need a backtrace first, of course, in any case.
