no, this should work for both, 1.4 and 2.1. > OTOH, if this is intended to work with both gnupg 1 and gnupg 2 > (for example, if you intend this to be backported to jessie), > then the problem is still here. Yes, I do ;). And I did test it under jessie, and also the package build under stretch. > The error message: (...) > suggests to me that there is not enough entropy to generate a key.

Ok, agree, this does add some randomness [which I usually mitigate running something like haveged on the builder host]. I guess this generally means automated tests depending on some entropy must be avoided? Anyway, I don't have a good solution either right now; maybe someone already has? Will look around eventually ;) Thx, S
