[pkg-gnupg-maint] Bug#928082: getting zombie process for gpg 2.2.12

[shirish शिरीष]

Package: gpg
Version: 2.2.12-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
I was looking at zombie processes on my system and saw the following -

$ ps aux | grep " Z. "
shirish   4686  0.0  0.0      0     0 ?        Z    Apr25   0:00 [gpg] <defunct>
shirish  10174  0.0  0.0      0     0 ?        Z    Apr26   0:00 [gpg] <defunct>
shirish  17720  0.0  0.0   6208   888 pts/4    S+   21:47   0:00 grep  Z.

I tried to use pstree to see if I could get any more info. but that is
nada because this was done way back and pstree only shares about
processes currently running . The only thing close was this -

-lightdm-+-mate-session-+-agent---2*[{agent}]
  `|-ssh-agent

but nothing other than that. Any ideas how to fix that other than
rebooting the system ?
