Package: gpg-agent
Version: 2.2.20-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
Without scdaemon the 90gpg-agent will output something like
LANG=C gpgconf --check-programs
gpgconf: error running '/usr/lib/gnupg/scdaemon': probably not installed
gpg:OpenPGP:/usr/bin/gpg:1:1:
gpg-agent:Private Keys:/usr/bin/gpg-agent:1:1:
scdaemon:Smartcards:/usr/lib/gnupg/scdaemon:0:0:
gpgsm:S/MIME:/usr/bin/gpgsm:1:1:::enabled debug flags%3a ipc:
dirmngr:Network:/usr/bin/dirmngr:1:1:
pinentry:Passphrase Entry:/usr/bin/pinentry:1:1:
The error line will go to log....
Thanks

Option d: Avoid generator, set env-vars unconditionally (without
querying gpgconf) in gpg-agent service script. :-)
gnupg2 (2.2.46~pre1-1) unstable; urgency=medium
* Improve systemd integration of gpg-agent's ssh socket by injecting
environment variable at socket creation/destruction
gnupg2 (2.4.3-1) experimental; urgency=low
* Improve systemd integration for gpg-agent SSH emulation.
