As Neal said, for most packages it's okay to not sign them (-us -uc) if you don't publish them. To get your "outer" instance of gpg-agent registered/visible inside scratchbox, you have to make sure to pass the environment variable $GPG_AGENT_INFO into the scratchbox environment. The way you could accomplish this is to do something like this in your "outer" .bashrc: echo "GPG_AGENT_INFO=$GPG_AGENT_INFO" >/scratchbox/users/yourusername/home/yourusername/.gpg_agent_info Then, in your "inner" (inside Scratchbox) .bashrc, you can simply add: source ~/.gpg_agent_info After this (and opening a new terminal or entering "source .bashrc" in your "outer" shell) you should get this variable set when you enter scratchbox, and gpg should try to ask your GPG Agent for data. The same works for ssh-agent as well (actually, I have only set it up for ssh-agent, but given that they follow the same principle with environment variables, I'm pretty sure that this approach works for gpg-agent as well). If it doesn't work, echo $GPG_AGENT_INFO inside scratchbox and make sure that it is set. If you don't use bash, use .profile instead or refer to your shell's manpage about environment variables there. Also, if you are on a multi-user system, make sure that the file ".gpg_agent_info" is only writable by your user, otherwise a malicious user could write shell script code there that gets executed as your user whenever you open Scratchbox.
