I'm using gpg and I notice rarely I will run a command and it will just hang. What could be the reasons for that? The two commands I've noticed it happening are --import and --delete-keys. I've noticed it in my regular key database and was able to reproduce it once when I set GNUPGHOME to an empty directory to make a new database (unfortunately I did not have the foresight to run --debug-all at that time).
gpg (GnuPG) 2.2.1 libgcrypt 1.8.1 In an attempt to coax out the hang I imported in a loop a few thousand times, but it didn't hang. cd foo set GNUPGHOME=. then I run a batch file ..\a.bat that does the loop: :restart gpg --debug-all --import c:\fedora.gpg rm -rf * goto restart One thing I did notice was I ended up with a number of gpg-agent processes that did not immediately terminate. After a minute they did though. I also notice there's 4 gpg-agent processes still running from earlier in the day. _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
