Package: gnupg Version: 1.4.19-5 Severity: normal The manpage of gpg states that the PINENTRY_USER_DATA environment variable is passed via gpg-agent to pinentry. However this doesn't seem to be true. Setting pinentry-program in ~/.gnupg-gpg-agent.conf to a script that dumps its environment to a file, I don't see any PINENTRY_USER_DATA when calling gpg with the following invocation:
gpg --sign testfile However, the exact same thing works with gpg2. Looking around in the source tree for gnupg, I'm confused because it seems like PINENTRY_USER_DATA isn't mentioned anywhere except in the doc. (It occurs in gnupg2, however.) Unless I'm getting something wrong, PINENTRY_USER_DATA should be removed from the gnupg documentation, or support for that variable should be actually implemented. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.2.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages gnupg depends on: ii gpgv 1.4.19-5 ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.6-8 ii libc6 2.19-22 ii libreadline6 6.3-8+b3 ii libusb-0.1-4 2:0.1.12-27 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2+b1 Versions of packages gnupg recommends: ii gnupg-curl 1.4.19-5 ii libldap-2.4-2 2.4.42+dfsg-2 Versions of packages gnupg suggests: ii eog 3.18.0-1 pn gnupg-doc <none> ii imagemagick 8:6.8.9.9-6 ii libpcsclite1 1.8.14-1 ii parcimonie 0.9-3 -- debconf-show failed
