Done Building Dependency Tree... Done gnupg-agent is already the newest version. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded. latte:/home/jas# Then why isn't used automatically? To get it working I had to start the daemon manually and add 'use-agent' to ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf. Either is hardly user friendly. When I log on my Debian box, ssh-agent is started and I didn't do anything to make it run. Perhaps gpg-agent can be started in a similar way. And there seem to be some font bug in the pinentry dialog window, presumably Unicode related.
