Re: gpg2 says "No Secret Key", gpg1.x says there is

[Charly Avital]

gpg2 requires gpg-agent to be available (installed and configured).
When it is not, the error warning is usually "...secret key not  
available".

Hope this helps

Hello,

for some time gpg2 from subversion has been giving me grief, claiming
there was no secret key, while gpg1.xxx says there is:

But gpg1.xxx, also from svn, says:

You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for
user: "Andreas Mattheiss <a.............>"
1024-bit ELG-E key, ID D8F9277B, created 2001-07-15 (main key ID

This has been going on for about half a year now. libassuen &  
friends are
all from svn.

Any suggestions/workarounds/explanations are welcome.

Andreas
