[Bug 640724] Re: gpgsm: gpg-protect-tool: error while asking for the passphrase: Unknown system error

[Matthew Carpenter]

Any movement on this?  This workaround is great for importing my own
cert... but it's a very manual workaround since GPG_AGENT_INFO is
important to my environment.  All the GUI tools which front-end this
don't allow for the workaround, which causes this to break the workflow.
Instead of doing things that make sense, this makes me have to focus on
all the wrong things.

Thanks for all your hard work!
Matt

Title:
  gpgsm: gpg-protect-tool: error while asking for the passphrase:
  Unknown system error

Status in “gnupg2” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnupg2

  I want to import a pkcs12 certificate.

  If I call "gpgsm --import certbundle.p12" this will crash with:
  gpgsm: gpgsm: GPG_TTY has not been set - using maybe bogus default
  gpgsm: gpg-protect-tool: error while asking for the passphrase: Unknown system error
  gpgsm: error running `/usr/lib/gnupg2/gpg-protect-tool': exit status 2
  gpgsm: total number processed: 0

  Furthermore, this also crashes the running gnome-keyring-daemon.

  I've attached a strace output of this command.

  I don't know how to work arround this - maybe, someone get a idea...
