[pkg-gnupg-maint] Bug#851440: sign_and_send_pubkey: signing failed: agent refused operation

[Dominik George]

Package: gnupg-agent
Version: 2.1.17-4
Severity: important

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256

Suddenly, using gpg-agent as ssh-agent with authentication subkeys
stopped working:

sign_and_send_pubkey: signing failed: agent refused operation

I can, however, still see my authentication subkeys in ssh-add -l:

% ssh-add -l
