Description

After I upgraded
gnupg2 and gnupg-agent version 2.0.7-1kk2 to 2.0.7.svn4643-0kk1
libgpgme11 version 1.1.5-0kk1 to 1.1.5.svn1282-1
(from apt.intevation.org)
the already running gpg-agent is no longer able to decrypt or sign OpenPKG or
S/MIME mails with mutt (using gpgme) or Kontact (enterprise branch)

Error messages are Bad passphrase or Unknown system error.

kwatchgnupg log shows:

As I understand it this is caused by the new error handling code.

You are using an old gpg-agent which does not support this option.
Below is the patch to allow using an old gpg-agent (I will commit it later).

Upgrading from 2.0.7.svn4643-0kk1 and from 2.0.7-1kk2 to 2.0.8-0kk1 worked fine.
(tested on two machines, both having a running gpg-agent and then decrypting
OpenPGP and S/MIME messages)
