Hi desktop fans,

gnome-keyring's GPG agent is incomplete and incompatible with
gpg2[0][1]. gnupg upstream don't recommend it is used.

In Debian and (gnupg) upstream a new "GNOME 3" pinentry (agent
passphrase prompter) program has been developed and packaged. I've just
packaged these for Ubuntu and uploaded to a PPA for testing. I'd
appreciate some testing and feedback before a potential upload next
week. It's in ppa:ubuntu-desktop/gpg for wily. You'll need to restart
your session to get the real gpg-agent used instead of gnome-keyring's
hijacked agent.

Cheers,
