Package: libgpgme11 Version: 1.1.2-2 Severity: normal When a GPGME-based program (such as sylpheed-claws-gtk2) is invoked without a controlling TTY and gpg-agent is in use, it does not bring up passphrase prompts, but instead simply fails whenever asked to sign anything.
If the program is invoked from within a xterm or other terminal, then it will correctly display the pinentry-gtk-2 passphrase prompt and allow signing and decrypting. I think this may be an upstream bug; I found a report of behavior I believe to be the same issue in a 2004 report on gnupg-devel: http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-devel/2004-January/020736.html I have no idea if this is a recent regression or if this was never fixed; I only very recently started using gpg-agent. Marked as normal because few people use gpg-agent, and starting programs from within an xterm seems to work around the problem. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16.20-jbk2 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages libgpgme11 depends on: ii gnupg 1.4.3-1 GNU privacy guard - a free PGP rep ii libc6 2.3.6-15 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgpg-error0 1.2-1 library for common error values an libgpgme11 recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
