Stephan, I agree - gnupg-agent does work as shipped with dapper. However, you need a valid configuration file in ~/.gnupg Of course, this is a no brainer... but if there is *no* config file, it fails to work. At least, it failed for me *before* I started looking around for newer versions. The problem was the non-existing socket file. Fixed using the right entry in the config file.
As for what doesn't work: gpgsm fails to import PKCS12 keys. This is true for all versions prior to 1.9.20-1, as documented in bug #19333. This has nothing to do with gnupg-agent or kmail, it's just the S/MIME support that doesn't work. Here's the list of packages that I installed to get S/MIME support working (iirc): gpgsm 1.9.20-1 gnupg2 1.9.20-1 libksba8 0.9.13-1 kdepim 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu6 kmail 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu6 gnupg-agent 1.9.20-1 For me, having S/MIME support in the mailer is essential. It works more or less in Kmail - depending on how little "less" really is, I'll have to switch to thunderbird eventually. If Kmail will support these features without using the gnupg-agent and the rest of the back end - fine :-) The question is - when?
