Package: gnupg Version: 1.4.2-2 Severity: normal Hi,
I have an OpenGPG smart card with its own subkeys (for encryption and signing). Since I often don't have my smart card available (for instance, I might be using ssh from my laptop home, as I read all my mail there), I've set the non-smart card subkey as my default key in .gnupg/options: default-key 52B7487E! However, most programs I use (including mutt) are not particularily subkey aware, and can only specify the key, without forcing a specific subkey: trofast:~# echo test | gpg -u 52b7487e --sign gpg: pcsc_connect failed: unknown reader (0x80100009) gpg: card reader not available *** glibc detected *** corrupted double-linked list: 0x00002aaaab36e6d8 *** zsh: done echo test | zsh: abort gpg -u 52b7487e --sign Since I can't find any good way of specifying which subkey should be the default (gpg just picks the newest one, which is rather annoying, especially when others send me encrypted e-mail -- but Werner Koch claims that's not a bug, but a feature :-) ), there should at least be some sort of fallback here; when it can't find my smart card, it should fall back to the original (older) subkey, which has a good old-fashioned pass phrase. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.14.3 Locale: LANG=en_DK.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_DK.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages gnupg depends on: ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.2-11 high-quality block-sorting file co ii libc6 2.3.5-11 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libldap2 2.1.30-12 OpenLDAP libraries ii libreadline5 5.1-5 GNU readline and history libraries ii libusb-0.1-4 2:0.1.10a-22 userspace USB programming library ii makedev 2.3.1-79 creates device files in /dev ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-9 compression library - runtime gnupg recommends no packages. -- debconf-show failed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
