Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnupg
For some reason gpg insists on spamming the console with this useless message:
-------
$ gpg --quiet --no-use-agent --sign --passphrase XXX -u "YYY" --output SIG FILE
&> /dev/null
You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for
user: "YYY"
1024-bit DSA key, ID FFD40F72, created 2007-12-01
--------
This is despite the fact that:
a) the passphrase is given on the command line (yeah, I know, it's OK here)
b) I told it to be quiet
c) I told it not to use the agent
d) I redirected both outputs to /dev/null
e) it doesn't actually _ask_ for the password (see point a) and the signing
works.
I don't even know _how_ it does that with the outputs redirected.
Anyway, this is really annoying in scripts.
