[Bug 1616009] Re: gpg agent not present after upgrade to yakkety

[segler]

if you don't need an password cache i think you could just deactivate the use of gpg-agent in 
~/.gnupg/gpg.conf by removing "use-agent"

but i need gpg-agent because of my smartcard and use of SSH emulation
with gpg-agent

Title:
  gpg agent not present after upgrade to yakkety

Status in gnupg2 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Reproduce:
  Try decrypting encrypted file

  
  What happens:
  jonas at jonas-xps:~$ gpg -d file.asc 
  gpg: CAST5 encrypted data
  gpg: gpg-agent is not available in this session
  Enter passphrase: 

  What should happen:
  The gpg-agent is allegedly running, so I expected the file to be decrypted.

  $ ps … | grep gpg-agent

  jonas at jonas-xps:~$ gpg-connect-agent /bye
  jonas at jonas-xps:~$ echo $?
