or any other resource, which could help interested users like myself in
providing the gpg-agent with ssh client and daemon errands, on both fresh
and not-so-fresh OS installs. Please consider SELinux
Hi Alexander,

Hi Damien!
Upfront some information you might probably already know.
When you "normally" create a new public/private key pair technically
*two* key pairs are created. Cross check with "gpg -K". One secret key

did:
$ gpg --list-packets /media/mystick/key
gpg: keybox '/home/cassou/.gnupg/pubring.kbx' created
# off=0 ctb=94 tag=5 hlen=2 plen=134
:secret key

Your subkeys are all stored on a smartcard. The primary key is online.
This is as intended. If you remove the the primary private key
