[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#843863: libvirt-clients: Can't use gpg-agent's ssh-agent implementation with a console-based pinentry

[Guilhem Moulin]

Package: libvirt-clients
Version: 2.4.0-1+b1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

gpg-agent(1) can emulate the OpenSSH Agent protocol (which provides
pubkey-authentication using an authentication-capable OpenPGP key, in
addition to the usual identity files).  However for a console-based
password prompt (such as pinentry-curses) to work, the ‘GPG_TTY’
environment variable needs to be set to the current TTY.

Using gpg-agent's ssh-agent implementation is currently not possible for
SSH remote URIs, because the environment is cleaned before calling the
ssh(1) binary.  The enclosed patches adds ‘GPG_TTY’ to the list of
environment variables passed to the child.

Thanks for maintaining libvirt in Debian!
Cheers
