Hi,

I sorry to tell you, that gpg-agents are inflating on numbers in Fedora systems:

As far as I understand ssh-agents, you start ONE for each user, but here, one for each repo is opened by PackageKit:

(today)

it would be more effective, if you give any programm who needs it, the password directly, instead of having useless processes laying around ;)

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1895012

it's not even doing this for every system, as my private pc does not have those (upgraded by dnf, and yes, it's installed), but others do (upgraded by packagekit).

Systemd opens gpg-agents even for mailserver daemons, which do not need nor know how to use them.

No idea what caused this invasion lately, but bugreports about it, get ignored.

Could someone please take a look and fix it, if it's bug.


best regards,
Marius Schwarz
