Indeed my fix was incomplete, according to your build log the gpg-agent for the python tests is already running when the modified start-stop- agent script is called so it was still started without debug quick random.
This was because in difference to my local system gpg is gpg2.1 and not gpg1 so the environment setup for the python scripts already launches the agent when importing secret keys. The additional fix for that is: https://git.gnupg.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=gpgme.git;a=commitdiff;h=f3ca2c9ce9fd4a03e293065f10b92589a7e642d6 I've tested in a personal ppa and with this patch it successfully compiled: https://launchpad.net/~aheinecke/+archive/ubuntu/gpgme-test Sorry for the extra work. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to gpgme1.0 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1647204 Title: 1.8.0-2 FTBFS in zesty 17.04 Status in gpgme1.0 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: 1.8.0-2 synced from debian in Zesty Zapus 17.04 fails to build on all architectures from source with the error: checking whether a simple qt program can be built... no configure: error: *** *** Qt5 (Qt5Core) is required for Qt binding. *** The packages builds without this issue in debian unstable. A little experimentation shows that is a ubuntu sbuild/pbuilder and ppa, setting -pie in the hardening options allows the build to proceed with the Qt bindings building properly. Not being overly familiar with the hardening, I am unsure if dropping that feature set is relatively harmless, or massively undesirable and potentially harmful. However, in a ppa build, but NOT in my local sbuild/pbuilder chroot, the resulting build then hangs on the (python?) tests on starting or stopping gpg-agent, and the build is eventually killed due to inactivity after 150 mins as follows GNUPGHOME=/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/lang/python/tests LC_ALL=C GPG_AGENT_INFO= top_srcdir=../../.. srcdir=.

These will be essential for future KDE applications and frameworks, as the gpgmepp previously built in KDE's own packages is being dropped.
