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

[Josef Möllers]

'morning,
I'm also affected, I'm not sure since when as I only occasionally receive encrypted emails.

Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS
gpgv 1.4.20-1ubuntu3.3
gnupg-agent 2.1.11-6ubuntu2.1

1) use-agent is active in ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf
2) gpg-agent fails to start due to a missing /run/usr/$UID/gnupg directory (/run/usr/$UID exists)
3) After repair ("mkdir /run/usr/$UID/gnupg"), gpg-agent starts automagically with these arguments: --homedir /home/josef/.gnupg --use-standard-socket --daemon, but still the socket is create in /run/user/UID/gnupg!
4) /etc/X11/Xsession.d/90gpg-agent exists
5) I use KDE (kde-baseapps-bin 4:15.12.3-0ubuntu1, though other KDE packages are 4:5.5.5-0ubuntu1).

  Some have reported problems before with repeated demands for

  all my previous backups and reinstalled duplicity and deja-dup, but I
  still get the error:
