--- Begin Message ---Package: gnupg-agent Version: 2.1.16-3 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, not an easy problem to describe, but from the effects on me, grave or critical ought to be the Severity... Since the switch to gpg2 as default and especially with the latest version recently appeared in stretch, gnupg-agent is about unusable here. It basically refuses to work in 98% of the times. I use it for gpg but also for ssh. It's started either by a gpg-connect-agent /bye in my .xsession, or by a user systemd instance as written in your README.Debian, the effects are the same. Ways to reproduce on my machine: - Login to a freshly booted Laptop. -> It's all fine, I can use it for gpg and ssh, no trouble. - Suspend the laptop for a bit. Can't say exactly how long, but switching from train to work, about 10 minutes, is enough -> Forget any agent use. What happens is a popup in the size of the pinentry (pinentry-gtk2 here) appearing, no content visible, and immediately it goes away. 2 or 3 times, and then fallback to no-agent-usage (ie ssh asks for password). Running gpg-connect-agent updatestartuptty /bye does not make it work. Only a logout and login does. Killing gpg-agent process and getting it started again by either systemd or manually - does help in about 1% of the cases. I loved using gpg agent for ssh too and did so since wheezy, adjusting my systems config to run it from Xsession.d - and was happy. Since gpg agent 2.1.whatever, I hate this piece of software. :( I'm not using anything special like smartcards or yubikeys or whatnot, just plain files on disk. Now, how to debug this and find a cause and fix? When I ranted on IRC a bit about it, a bunch of other people spoke up about problems too. I point them at this bug and hope they add a few cents of their experiences. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.8.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages gnupg-agent depends on: ii libassuan0 2.4.3-2 ii libc6 2.24-8 ii libgcrypt20 1.7.3-2 ii libgpg-error0 1.25-2 ii libnpth0 1.3-1 ii libreadline7 7.0-1 ii pinentry-gtk2 [pinentry] 1.0.0-1 Versions of packages gnupg-agent recommends: ii gnupg 2.1.16-3 Versions of packages gnupg-agent suggests: pn scdaemon <none> -- no debconf information -- bye, Joerg
