[pkg-gnupg-maint] Bug#914944: gnupg: importing a key fails when there's no tty (regression from 2.1.18-8~deb9u2)

[Lucas Nussbaum]

Package: gnupg
Version: 2.1.18-8~deb9u3
Severity: normal

Hi,

Importing the attached key fails when there's no tty.

To reproduce:
works fine: gpg --import kameleon.gpg
doesn't work: setsid sh -c 'gpg --import kameleon.gpg' &>log

it fails with:
gpg: cannot open '/dev/tty': No such device or address

It worked fine with 2.1.18-8~deb9u2.
It also works with 2.2.10-3~bpo9+1.
It doesn't work with 2.1.18-8~deb9u3.
So it looks like a regression in the recent stable
update.

Thanks

Lucas
