werner added a comment to T1840: gpg-agent should have prompt-for-use mechanism.

We already have that "confirm" flag for ssh and thus adding code to use it for
the extra-socket feature should be easy. The open question is how to disable
this feature on a per key base. A ~/.gnupg/confirmcontrol or similar file could
be used to record those keys which do not need confirmation or if persistance is
not required a checkbox in pinentry could be used to show the confirmation
dialog only once per session.

D283: 555_0001-dirmngr-Clean-up-spawned-dirmngr_ldap-processes.patch

Feb 17 2015, 6:16 PM · Duplicate, gnupg, Bug Report, dirmngr
aheinecke added a comment to T1838: Dirmngr ldap CRL checks leave zombie dirmngr_ldap processes (2.1.x).

This problem is due to ldap_wrapper creating processes with gnupg_spawn_process
but while gnupg_spawn_process states that you have to call gnupg_wait_process
and gnupg_release_process afterwards this is not done in the ldap_wrapper.

Sometimes release is called but never wait to get the exit status of the spawned
process and remove the zombie.

If release is not called this will also leak a handle on Windows.

Attached Patch moves the process cleanup in it's own function and calls that
function from where the process should be terminated and cleaned up.

My test for this:
export GNUPGHOME=$(mktemp -d)
echo "11:B9:1B:31:EE:09:E0:84:4D:25:4E:58:7A:65:CE:51:84:F3:6B:70 S" >

acastong added a comment to T1832: gpg --send-keys fails silently if keyserver unavailable.

To reproduce using version 2.0.26 (on Windows):

  1. Set your keyserver to something invalid (ie. put the following line in your

gpg.conf, without any other keyserver entries:

keyserver hkp://invalid.gnupg.net

  1. Try to retrieve the key 82058954 (from john doe) from the server: gpg --recv-keys 82058954

This should report that no key has been found. What it *should* report is that
there was a communication problem with the servier.

  1. Revert to a vali keyserver destination in your gpg.conf

keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net

  1. Perform the recv operation again, it should successfully load the key gpg --recv-keys 82058954
  1. Reset your server to an invali value and perform the following operation: gpg --send-keys 82058954

The application will with the message that it is sending the key to
invalid.gnupg.net, wnen in fact it is not

Here is the latter half of the output of --card-status in it's entirety...

The URL is listed, as for the signature key, that is the crux of the
problem... it shouldn't care about what the fingerprint of the signature key
when retrieving the public key when the signature key is a subkey as you
can't retrieve just the public key of the subkey, you need to retrieve the
public key of the master key that contains that subkey.

Note below how key 757C0180 is the master key and in the error message in
the op it is looking for AEB99527 which is the signing subkey.
