Bug 76992 – gpg-agent 1.9.14 doesn't work

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Dirk Heinrichs 2005-01-07 02:18:08 UTC]

I use keychain, and when I log in twice on two different consoles, with no gpg-agent running, I will be prompted for the GPG passphrase everytime. This doesn't happen with gnupg/gpg-agent 1.9.10.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Login to one tty (while keychain is in use)
2. Login to another tty

Actual Results:  
The pinentry dialog pops up in both tty's. 

Expected Results:  
It should only ask for the passphrase the first time.

solutions welcome or more detailed bits on how to use gpg-agent as you seem to know.

[Comment 2 Dirk Heinrichs 2005-01-07 02:29:09 UTC]

1.9.10 works fine, so keeping this version for now is my solution.

[Comment 3 Dirk Heinrichs 2005-01-07 04:18:59 UTC]

Now that you have made gpg-agent independent of the gnupg version, you could simply rename the gpg-agent-1.9.14.ebuild to gpg-agent-1.9.10-ebuild. I did a quick test and the combination of gnupg-1.9.14 with gpg-agent-1.9.10 seems to work.

Forgot to mention: You may need to change bz2 to gz in SRC_URI.

if gpg-agent-1.9.14.ebuild is working for you I'll remove gpg-agent-1.9.10-ebuild?

[Comment 6 Dirk Heinrichs 2005-01-07 05:30:14 UTC]

No, vice versa. 1.9.14 is the one that doesn't work (at least for me). We need a 1.9.10 ebuild.

[Comment 7 Daniel Black (RETIRED) 2005-01-07 06:19:05 UTC]

done = hope it works for you. I'll look at 1.9.14 later.

[Comment 8 Dirk Heinrichs 2005-01-11 02:49:53 UTC]

Thanks. Everything is fine now.
