I have actually thank you for raising this issue: > gnome-keyring-daemon[5531]: unrecognized command: SCD The problem is that the gnome-keyring-dameon hijacks the inter process communication (IPC) between gpg and gpg-agent. It implements a very limited set of commands of gpg-agent but nothing more. Recent versions of GnuPG detect this and show a warning message or pop-up to tell you just this. Depending on the version of gnome-keyring-daemon, it is possible to disable the gpg-agent hijacking component. Unfortunately it is hard to convince the maintainer to disable this mis-features. > Otherwise if I run gpg --card-status with a card in the USB card reader > I get the following: You are using gpg 1.4.x which can directly talk to the card. However, latest card features are not supported by 1.4 but only by GnuPG 2.x.

The solution could be easy: The gpg-agent component needs to be disabled when build gnome-keyring-daemon: ./configure --disable-gpg-agent Shalom-Salam, Werner -- Die Gedanken sind frei.
