I was able to track the spawning down to calls to gpg done from add-apt- repository.
Simplified - that spawns one: gpg --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80/ --recv 04450970750A7228C042CD4442C3EB37B6832E30 There already is our "oneshot" in the form of "--no-use-agent" So that does not spawn, but still work as intended. gpg --no-use-agent --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80/ --recv 04450970750A7228C042CD4442C3EB37B6832E30 Need to make the mode and check if other calls later on still spawn it. Unfortunately that option is a dummy in newer gpg, so I opened a discussion upstream as https://bugs.gnupg.org/gnupg/issue2858. ** Bug watch added: bugs.gnupg.org/gnupg/ #2858 http://bugs.gnupg.org/gnupg/issue2858 ** Also affects: gnupg via http://bugs.gnupg.org/gnupg/issue2858 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1645680 Title: apt feature broken on >=Yakkety due to new gpg agent To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/curtin/+bug/1645680/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
