Package: gnupg2 Version: 2.1.10-3 Severity: important I first noticed this today. I have the default-key set to the key on my smart card, which is the only non-revoked private key in the keyring; but instead of trying to use it, gpg2 first asks the agent for every other key in the keyring if a private key exists, causing a __15__ second delay before the pin is requested from me.
During DebConf I basically had the same issue, and setting the default-key as Werner Koch suggested fixed the issue back then, but now it is back. The logs are the usual tons of: gpg-agent[4355]: DBG: chan_4 <- HAVEKEY 5DF8BCA35EA1D66D5F52648DFC630FFFC065B087 781EB41B7C0D0EF13B9B395192625F446DB934F3 gpg-agent[4355]: DBG: chan_4 -> ERR 67108881 No secret key <GPG Agent> -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (900, 'unstable'), (100, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.4.0-rc5-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_IE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_IE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages gnupg2 depends on: ii dpkg 1.18.4 ii gnupg-agent 2.1.10-3 ii libassuan0 2.4.2-1 ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.6-8 ii libc6 2.21-6 ii libgcrypt20 1.6.4-4 ii libgpg-error0 1.21-1 ii libksba8 1.3.3-1 ii libreadline6 6.3-8+b4 ii libsqlite3-0 3.9.2-1 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2+b1 Versions of packages gnupg2 recommends: ii dirmngr 2.1.10-3 Versions of packages gnupg2 suggests: pn gnupg-doc <none> pn parcimonie <none> ii xloadimage 4.1-23+b1 -- no debconf information -- Julian Andres Klode - Debian Developer, Ubuntu Member See http://wiki.debian.org/JulianAndresKlode and http://jak-linux.org/.
