Package: gpa
Version: 0.9.0-4
debian_version: 7.3
The following solution worked for me on wheezy (stable). Thanks, Joachim
Wiedorn, for the hint.
$ gpa # => "General Assuan error" + other messages as said in [1]
$ echo $GPG_AGENT_INFO
/home/user/.cache/keyring-kDmTeC/gpg:0:1
$ unset GPG_AGENT_INFO
$ gpa # => no error
According to the gpg manpage it appears safe to unset this value.
GPG_AGENT_INFO
Used to locate the gpg-agent. This is only honored when
--use-agent is set. The value consists of 3 colon delimited
fields: The first is the path to the Unix Domain Socket, the
second the PID of the gpg-agent and the protocol version which
should be set to 1. When starting the gpg-agent as described in
its documentation, this variable is set to the correct value.
The option --gpg-agent-info can be used to override it.
Thanks for your work!
