Package: gnupg2
Version: 2.0.22-3
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
*** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
Writing a script to sign arbitrary selections, I use zenity to retrieve a
string from the user to be passed to gpg2 as passphrase.
This is because the script needs to be launched from a hotkey in X and gpg's
passphrase dialog does not work in this context.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
In testing the script I ran the following from xfce4-terminal:
gpg -s --batch --no-tty --passphrase [my gpg passphrase]
* What was the outcome of this action?
the normal passphrase prompt window popped up.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
I expected that gpg should proceed as normal except omitting the passphrase
prompt as one had been provided by --passphrase per the manual.
