[Bug 1398367] [NEW] gpg-agent fails with pinentry-qt4

[Georg Altmann]

Public bug reported:

With
pinentry-program /usr/bin/pinentry-qt4
in
~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf
gpg fails:
$ killall ssh-agent gpg-agent
$ eval $(gpg-agent --daemon --enable-ssh-support)
$ env |grep GPG
GPG_AGENT_INFO=/tmp/gpg-EAhfxo/S.gpg-agent:29145:1
$ gpg --decrypt foo-message.txt

You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for
user: "xxxxxxx"
2048-bit RSA key, ID xxxxxxx, created xxxxxxx (main key ID xxxxxxxxxxx)

gpg: problem with the agent - disabling agent use
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

With
pinentry-program /usr/bin/pinentry-gtk-2
in
~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf
pinentry pops up as expected with the same commands used as above.
