Package: gnupg-agent Version: 2.0.22-3 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
gnupg-agent was installed for dependencies. I don't use it. My computer is on 24x7. I connect to it by SSH and by X. After a few days on, I have many instances of gpg-agent. $ ps -fu $(whoami)|grep -v grep|grep gpg-agent benoit 25352 1 0 mai17 ? 00:00:01 /usr/bin/gpg-agent --sh --daemon --write-env-file /home/benoit/.cache/gpg-agent-info benoit 25411 1 0 mai17 ? 00:00:01 gpg-agent --daemon benoit 25417 1 0 mai17 ? 00:00:01 gpg-agent --daemon benoit 25439 1 0 mai17 ? 00:00:01 gpg-agent --daemon benoit 26211 1 0 09:41 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/gpg-agent --sh --daemon --write-env-file /home/benoit/.cache/gpg-agent-info benoit 26255 1 0 09:41 ? 00:00:00 gpg-agent --daemon benoit 26260 1 0 09:41 ? 00:00:00 gpg-agent --daemon benoit 26280 1 0 09:41 ? 00:00:00 gpg-agent --daemon benoit 31530 1 0 mai16 ? 00:00:01 /usr/bin/gpg-agent --sh --daemon --write-env-file /home/benoit/.cache/gpg-agent-info benoit 31581 1 0 mai16 ? 00:00:02 gpg-agent --daemon benoit 31583 1 0 mai16 ? 00:00:02 gpg-agent --daemon benoit 31612 1 0 mai16 ? 00:00:02 gpg-agent --daemon After some weeks, there are many instances. I "killall" them. If not, it triggers my process monitoring. I think I should not be so. I don't know the best solution: gpg-agent should die with its session, or there should be only one gpg-agent running. Furthermore, I did not find a way to prevent gpg-agent to be started. My ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf has no "use-agent" line.
