Hi there, I'm attempting to generate a 4096bit RSA key using gnupg 2.0.12 and gpg-agent 2.0.11 but I'm getting an error message prior to entering the passphrase:
"gpg: problem with the agent: Not supported" Having done a little digging I decided to enable --debug-all to see if this would shed any light on the problem - unfortunately the error message means very little on first inspection - hence this mail. "gpg-agent[66760.6] DBG: -> ERR 67109144 parameter conflict - unknown value for WHAT" I've included the full session output below with certain fields XXXXX'd out... _Environment_info_ Mac OS X 10.5.8 gnupg2 installed via darwin ports _Non_standard_entries_in_"~/.gnupg/gpg.conf"_ personal-digest-preferences SHA512 cert-digest-algo SHA512 default-preference-list SHA512 SHA384 SHA256 SHA224 AES256 AES192 AES CAST5 ZLIB BZIP2 ZIP Uncompressed Any help or suggestions of where to look further appreciated.
