(fwiw, #623539 is assigned to gnome-keyring, not gnupg-agent)

It seems also related to:

 https://bugs.debian.org/760237#203

the interaction between gpa and gpg-agent is suboptimal at best.

I think gpa needs to at least be able to detect when it needs an agent
and the agent is failing, and handle that more gracefully.

This is true for gpa regardless of who is providing the listening socket
for gpg-agent (though i completely agree that gnupg-agent and
gnome-keyring really need to find a way to play better together).

I'm not convinced by the reassignment of #761026 to gnupg-agent, and i
think i would prefer it to be reassigned back to gpa for now.

Unfortunately, i don't know how to convince gnome-keyring and
gnupg-agent to play together well.
