[pkg-gnupg-maint] Bug#840680: Bug#840680: dirmngr: Dirmngr not always responding

[Daniel Kahn Gillmor]

Hi Dhole and Craig--

Thanks for your reports of dirmngr not responding.  I've tried to
reproduce this bug, and actually found it easiest to reproduce with:

     GNUPGHOME=$(mktemp -d) gpg-connect-agent --dirmngr

This should produce the following debugging info, followed by a "> "
prompt:

    gpg-connect-agent: no running Dirmngr - starting '/usr/bin/dirmngr'
    gpg-connect-agent: waiting for the dirmngr to come up ... (5s)
    gpg-connect-agent: connection to the dirmngr established
    > 

Instead, it was hanging.

I've just imported an upstream fix for hanging instances of dirmngr and
included it in an upload to unstable as 2.1.15-6, which i've marked as
fixing this bug.  Please try it out in the environments that were
hanging for you, and reopen this bug report if the problems are still
happening.

Many thanks for the reporting, testing, and followup!

Regards,

     --dkg
