That is because on most Unix systems the file name for local socket is limited in size. Local sockets are used for communication between the components (e.g. gpg and gpg-agent). The suggested solution is to create the socket in the /var/run directory: Make sure that /var/run/user/$(id -u) exists before starting gpg or gpg-agent the socket will be created there. Only is you use a non-default home directory (GNUPGHOME) you need to manually create a sub-directory by using export GNUPGHOME=/foo/bar gpgconf --create-socketdir To view the current directory used for the sockets, use: gpgconf --list-dirs socketdir Shalom-Salam, Werner -- Die Gedanken sind frei.
