[pkg-gnupg-maint] Bug#809278: gnupg2: Asks gpg-agent for secret key to every key in the database instead of trying default

[Julian Andres Klode]

Package: gnupg2
Version: 2.1.10-3
Severity: important

I first noticed this today. I have the default-key set to the key on my smart
card, which is the only non-revoked private key in the keyring; but instead
of trying to use it, gpg2 first asks the agent for every other key in the
keyring if a private key exists, causing a __15__ second delay before the pin
is requested from me.

During DebConf I basically had the same issue, and setting the default-key
as Werner Koch suggested fixed the issue back then, but now it is back.

The logs are the usual tons of:
gpg-agent[4355]: DBG: chan_4 <- HAVEKEY 5DF8BCA35EA1D66D5F52648DFC630FFFC065B087 781EB41B7C0D0EF13B9B395192625F446DB934F3
gpg-agent[4355]: DBG: chan_4 -> ERR 67108881 No secret key <GPG Agent>
