How is gpg-agent being _started_? Is it systemd? If so, go to <https://public-packages.pennock.tech/> and scroll down to "Users of systemd with vendor-installed socket activation of gpg-agent will have to weigh their options carefully" neat the bottom; it's one of the bullet points for the `optgnupg-gnupg` package. It talks about how to change the gpg-agent which systemd will launch for you. Those are the steps I use on an Ubuntu system to swap out /usr/bin/gpg-agent in favour of /opt/gnupg/bin/gpg-agent. -Phil _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
