[pkg-gnupg-maint] Bug#847206: gpg-agent: can't connect to the agent: File name too long

[Sandro Knauß]

Package: gnupg-agent
Version: 2.1.16-3
Severity: normal

Hey,

when i started to run the tests for messagelib within debian build dir
gpg-agent fails to start silently. Here the relevant part

GNUPGHOME=/build/kf5-messagelib-1co6xC/kf5-messagelib-16.04.3/obj-x86_64-linux-gnu/messagecore/autotests/gnupg_home
gpg-agent --daemon test
_pid=`echo GETINFO pid |
GNUPGHOME=/build/kf5-messagelib-1co6xC/kf5-messagelib-16.04.3/obj-x86_64-linux-gnu/messagecore/autotests/gnupg_home
gpg-connect-agent | grep 'D' | cut -d' ' -f2`


the output is:

gpg-agent[26537]: enabled debug flags: ipc
gpg-connect-agent: no running gpg-agent - starting '/usr/bin/gpg-agent'
gpg-connect-agent: waiting for the agent to come up ... (5s)
gpg-connect-agent: waiting for the agent to come up ... (4s)
gpg-connect-agent: waiting for the agent to come up ... (3s)
gpg-connect-agent: waiting for the agent to come up ... (2s)
gpg-connect-agent: waiting for the agent to come up ... (1s)
gpg-connect-agent: can't connect to the agent: File name too long
gpg-connect-agent: error sending standard options: No agent running


The test isn't started at all and no error message is logged, that
gpg-agent do not start, this is not nice. I only get the error, what is
wrong, when i use gpg-connect-agent.

Best Regards,

sandro
