[pkg-gnupg-maint] Bug#855868: GPG_AGENT_INFO and SSH_AUTH_SOCK not set in wayland sessions

[Laurent Bigonville]

Package: gnupg-agent
Version: 2.1.18-6
Severity: normal
User: pkg-gnome-maintainers at alioth.debian.org
Usertags: wayland

Hi,

In X11 session, GPG_AGENT_INFO (and SSH_AUTH_SOCK) are set in the user
environment.

With GNOME running a wayland session, this is not set.

So the question is, what are the concequence of these environment
variable not being set? And what should be the solution? Should all the
software stop relying on these environment variables? Or should the
compositors export that to the user environment.

I'm opening this bug to take track of the different bugs.

Cheers,

Laurent Bigonville
