Title:
  gpg-agent update prevents login/xserver start due to config error

Status in gnupg2 package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnupg-agent

  gpg-agent prevented login (loop in gdm, xserver start fail) due to error (logged in ~/.xsession-errors):
  gpg-agent[7963]: /$HOME/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf:9: invalid option

  startx from console didnt work, too.

  File content:
  ###+++--- GPGConf ---+++###
  debug-level basic
  log-file socket:///$HOME/.gnupg/log-socket
  ###+++--- GPGConf ---+++### Mo 07 Jul 2008 16:54:09 CEST
  # GPGConf edited this configuration file.
  # It will disable options before this marked block, but it will
  # never change anything below these lines.

  default-key  XXsnipXX

  $HOME inserted and key obfuscated ;)

  commenting that line (default-key) with # solved the problem. I don't know when this was inserted, but there is a backup file with that line:
