Package: gnupg-agent Version: 1.9.15-6 Severity: normal If gpg-agent is being used on a system, but the passphrase is not cached, the signing done as part of other programmes will fail (rather than prompt the caching of the passphrase):
For instance, with dpkg-buildpackage: signfile libtut_0.0.20050622-1.dsc You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for user: "Martin F. Krafft <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" 1024-bit DSA key, ID 330C4A75, created 2001-06-20 gpg: cancelled by user gpg: skipped "330c4a75": bad passphrase gpg: [stdin]: clearsign failed: bad passphrase The same applies to baz/bazaar and debsign/devscripts. I assume that the problem is related somehow to the file descriptor used to read the passphrase, but I am in no way familiar with gpg-agent to be able to tell. If the passphrase is already cached in the agent, things work as expected. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers stable APT policy: (700, 'stable'), (600, 'testing'), (98, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.12-cirrus Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages devscripts depends on: ii debianutils 2.14.1 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii dpkg-dev 1.13.10 Package building tools for Debian ii libc6 2.3.5-3 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii perl 5.8.7-4 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii sed 4.1.2-8 The GNU sed stream editor Versions of packages devscripts recommends: ii fakeroot 1.2.10 Gives a fake root environment -- no debconf information -- .''`. martin f. krafft <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : :' : proud Debian developer and author: http://debiansystem.info `. `'` `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing a system Invalid/expired PGP (sub)keys?
