Package: gnupg2 Version: 2.1.7-2 Severity: normal This may be expected behavior and the right solution is to just switch to gpg2 because gpg 1.x is no longer supported, but if so, consider this a request for a NEWS.Debian entry, since that's a rather large change and a bunch of tools in Debian are still using gpg.
With gnupg-agent 2.1.7-2, there no longer appears to be any way to get gpg to use the agent. I have use-agent specified in .gnupg/gpg.conf and an agent running, but gpg always says: mithrandir:~/dvl/build-area$ debsign *.changes signfile webauth_4.7.0-3.dsc D15D313882004173 You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for user: "Russ Allbery <[email protected]>" 2048-bit RSA key, ID 7D80315C5736DE75, created 2010-09-17 (subkey on main key ID D15D313882004173) gpg: gpg-agent is not available in this session (for example). I do have one running: mithrandir:~$ ps auxwww | grep gpg-agent eagle 943 0.0 0.0 165284 596 ? Ss 18:47 0:00 /usr/bin/gpg-agent --daemon and therefore also can't start a new one. gpg still wants to have some sort of GNUPG_AGENT_INFO variable and claims this is documented in the gpg-agent man page, but there's no longer any information there on what to set it to. This is all made worse by the fact that the DEBSIGN_PROGRAM environment variable is apparently ignored by debsign, so at least for me this pretty much breaks my signature workflow for packages. I'll report that bug separately. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.1.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages gnupg2 depends on: ii dpkg 1.18.2 ii gnupg-agent 2.1.7-2 ii install-info 6.0.0.dfsg.1-3 ii libassuan0 2.2.1-1 ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.6-8 ii libc6 2.19-19 ii libgcrypt20 1.6.3-2 ii libgpg-error0 1.19-2 ii libksba8 1.3.3-1 ii libreadline6 6.3-8+b3 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2+b1 Versions of packages gnupg2 recommends: pn dirmngr <none> Versions of packages gnupg2 suggests: pn gnupg-doc <none> pn parcimonie <none> pn xloadimage <none> -- no debconf information
