--- Begin Message ---Package: gnupg-agent Version: 2.0.2 Severity: normal The gpg-agent package installs /etc/X11/Xsession.d/90gpg-agent to automatically start the agent in X sessions. The script tries to determine whether the agent is needed by looking for the use-agent option in some gnugp configuration files. This method is insufficient to determine whether the agent should be started. There are a number of cases where the agent is needed even though use-agent is not specified in the config files: - The user uses gpgsm. gpgsm always uses the agent. - The user uses gpg2. gpg2 also always uses the agent. - The user uses gpg 1.x via gpgme (e.g. via kmail). When used via gpgme, gpg 1.x will use the agent regardless of whether its config file contains use-agent. So it seems best to always start the gpg-agent. Alternatively, use some other condition, but checking for use-agent is wrong for this purpose. Regards, Bernhard

Hello, We have been starting gpg-agent with systemd socket activation since 2016 so this does not seem to be relevant anymore. cu Andreas
