Hello everyone,
still trying to debug the interaction between my custom built gpg 2.4 and
the tpm
I manage to enable the gpg-agent log file and set the debug level to 5
(advanced) according to:
https://www.gnupg.org/documentation/manuals/gnupg/Agent-Options.html#option-_002d_002dhomedir
Actually what I see when I run the `keytotpm` is:
```

What seems interesting to me are the following log entries:
```
2023-12-10 16:46:24 gpg-agent[358316] DBG: chan_11 <- ERR 268435731 Unknown
IPC command
```
and
```
2023-12-10 16:46:30 gpg-agent[358316] updating regular key file
'/home/netresults.wintranet/borghese/gpg2.tmp/private-keys-v1.d/FDEE0860BCFCE24C29738F1ADBF42D4C7D95516B.key'
by a shadow key inhibited
```
Does anyone know what the above error means exactly and how to solve it?
Ciao e grazie
Sergio
