[Bug 1700645] Re: gpg-agent not running when needed by Déjà Dup

[Tobias Barden]

Hello Vej,

I'm also affected from this bug.

System details:
Ubuntu 17.10
deja-dup 36.2-0ubuntu1
duplicity 0.7.12
gpgv 2.1.15-1ubuntu8

Same problem: gpg-agent was not running
But: ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf does not contain a use-agent statement (everything is commented out). As I was not able to find any reference on how the default gpg.conf file should look like, I'm note sure if this is supposed to or not.

Same solution: starting the agent manually solves the problem.

Kind regards

  Some have reported problems before with repeated demands for
  encryption passwords, but mine gives a different error.  I've deleted
  all my previous backups and reinstalled duplicity and deja-dup, but I
  still get the error:
