Hi David, IMO, the problems resides with your installation of gnupg2 via Darwin Ports. Darwin Ports installs a version of pinentry (required for gpg-agent to function) that is not compatible with MacOSX. If you want to install a functioning gnupg2 for MacOSX, with a Mac native pinentry.app, you might want to try MacGPG2 2.0.12 <http://sourceforge.net/projects/macgpg2/> <http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-users/2009-June/036724.html>, that can be downloaded from: <http://sourceforge.net/projects/macgpg2/files/macgpg2/> > 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 That should be the problem. > > _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.
