Public bug reported:
I don't know exactly which change triggers this behavior but now in 17.10,
gpg-agent is started automatically.
As gpg-agent --homedir /home/xavier/.gnupg --use-standard-socket --daemon is
running and it is not what I want. For some reasons, I want to type my password
each time I want to decrypt my symmetrically encrypted foo.txt.gpg file.
Alternatively, I want at least to be able to setup a timeout to a small value
to force the agent to forget my password.
Uninstall gnnpg-agent? Yes it could work but I cannot:
sudo apt-get purge gnupg-agent
