Look, we've already explained (multiple times, in this very thread)
that PGP key passphrases may have to be disabled in order to get Split
GPG to work and why this is the case. Split GPG was designed with the
expectation that there would be no passphrase on the key. If it worked
well with a passphrase before the update, that was a fortuitous
coincidence. If, after the update, it no longer works well with a
passphrase (but still works just as well without one), then this
simply doesn't qualify as a bug according to the original design.

You've identified a certain property that used to exist but that was
never intended as a feature. Now that this property has ceased to
exist, you're claiming that a feature is missing and that a bug has
been introduced. That simply doesn't follow.

I understand that you want to use a passphrase on your key despite our
arguments against it (and despite offering no counterargument), and I
respect that. It's your right to do with your keys as you please,
whatever your reasons might be. However, I'm afraid Split GPG simply
wasn't intended to accommodate you. If you'd like Split GPG to support
keys with passphrases, then you're more than welcome to submit a patch
that implements it, and we'd be grateful for your contribution!
