Yes, gpg-agent is installed and appears to have been started in background. My O/S is Debian on a Chromebook. I start Emacs via 'xterm -e emacs' and just noticed (thanks to you) that I'm getting a textual popup on the xterm asking for the passphrase. Given that, everything works. So, you're saying that the textual popup is the correct mechanism for getting the passphrase? -- David Masterson
