Description

When trying to generate a new key-block with crypto from a smartcard doesn't show the keys on the card.

Procedure to reproduce:

insert a card with an existing key unknown in the keyring
> gpg --full-gen-key
> (14) Existing key from card
⇒ no keys are displayed

This regression might be introduced in October 2024 in the gnupg 2.6 branch.

During testing the above another glitch occurred: when trying to save the key the keyboxd throws an SQL error "constraint violation". It's unclear if this correlates.
