That is on purpose. Exporting of a secret key should in theory not be possible at all via gpg. In practice we need a way to export a key, but that should be the exception and thus we do not want any caches for passphrases to have an effect.

trigger what command? i'm pretty sure gpgconf --reload gpg-agent does not trigger updatestartuptty. And it should not do so, afaict -- if you think it should, i'd be interested in hearing the rationale for it.
When having a backup media, I'd recommend completely different one (for example, on paper using paperkey to be stored in a locker in basement), which requires different method for recovering. Brains may be easily confused when same private key material exists in multiple similar devices.
Does gpgconf --reload gpg-agent trigger that command? that's the ExecReload setting in the systemd service unit I'm looking at.
Thanks for this @gniibe. I have long been frustrated by trying to save the correct "stubs" to have my keyring point at two different smartcards. It was common and even advocated in my former community to place one's master key on a separate smartcard (certify capability), with a different one designated for daily usage.
Thanks Gniibe San for explanation.

This doesn't sound systemd-specific to me, fwiw, though i don't understand how to reproduce the problem from the given description here.

FWIW, I disabled @aa7356 because he again started to troll.
Snap question regards to the clock;

Sorry, I can't parse that. For development question please use gnupg-devel at gnupg.org.
Fix will go into 2.2.16 to be release this month.
At the time the verification is done some output has already been written to the file 'signed'. When checking whether the deprecated abbreviated format
There will be no full solution for this. However, the next release should in general work due to a 400ms delay we use after spawning the viewer. This is configurable; see rG7e5847da0f3d715cb59d05adcd9107b460b6411b.
I guess you are the only person who does it. But yeah. I agree that it should be fixed.
I agree with @dkg here.
I can't see any bug here so I will close this bug now.
@blades: This feature will be available in GnuPG 2.3, which is planed to be released this year.
For Debian, Buster will come with GnuPG 2.2.12. After release of GnuPG 2.3, backport might be available (like GnuPG 2.2.x is available as backport for Stretch).

"requires too much changes" i can understand.
Hi Werner,
Please use one of the mailing lists to solve your problem. 2.3 is a development version, so I wonder from where you got this version of GnuPG.
Actually the temp file is created but because the photo viewer is run as a detached process and gpg keeps on running, the temp file has been removed by gpg at the time the photo viewer tries to open it. Ooops. The correct behaviour would be to wait for the photo viewer to be finished. We use
The problem could be narrowed as follows: According to Mailvelope Add-on, GnuPG must be installed for smart card support. Screenshots show that GnuPG is not recognized by Mailvelope. Of course actual versions off all programs were installed. Therefore, e-mails sent out ecrypted with public key work fine, because the public key is stored in Mailvelope. Is the encrypted message arrives and should be decrypted. Mailvelope does not find GnuPG and therefore, no private key. I´ll send some screenshots to you.
That was obvious. rG6fc5df1e10129f3171d80cf731f310b9e8d97c26 fixes this.
When doing a "gpgsm --with-validation -k foo" (assuming you have a cert foo) gpgsm now goes into a loop and prints the certficates that match "foo" over and over again. I have not tested if it was caused by this change but I think it is likely.
Smartcard support is a big advantage of using the GnuPG backend and it should work of course.
Fixed in amster and 2.2:
This requires too much changes and does not reflect the reality. It actually makes debugging harder for us.
I pulled that branch with the commit w/o problems. However, as noted on your commit I won't apply that because it does not make any sense to change boilerplate blurbs for just an additional 's'. Nobody really uses that and browser can try to use https first. Sorry, there are more important things around.
Helo and forgive me for the ignorance, Iam a new.
I subscribed to this topic because I need a fix like that, I have 2 yubikeys with same subkeys...
Now how is possible to install from master; It's about a debian based distro. Also, when this will be pushed for updates via apt-get;
Thank you.
I imported 39 certificate files at once with Kleopatra with about 700 certificates and it worked. Took a long time though so It would be nice if Kleopatra would show a progess indicator or some indication that the import is running. But this is a different issue.
Feature supported in master.
The change is adopted. To close this patch, I take over.

Great :-)
This was a change (fixing file descriptor leaks in iconv.m4) that I needed to do for building fuzzing
https://github.com/google/oss-fuzz/blob/master/projects/gnupg/fuzzgnupg.diff#L178
I patched version 1.13.0 with that commit and installed the patched version on Monday. It appears to have fixed the problem.
Or a better tl;dr; When you send mails without "inline" option everything is fine and standardized. The problem is that the old version of GpgOL that your college uses is too stupid to handle this ;-)
Yes your colleague should or basically needs to upgrade. 2.2.3 is very outdated. There are security issues that were fixed by then etc.

What client does your colleague use so that you have to use PGP/Inline?
That format where the attachment is it's own PGP Encrypted file is very problematic. You basically have mutliple signature and encryption states. An attacker can easily remove or add attachments to the message. The attachment name is leaked. etc. Also see: https://wiki.gnupg.org/PgpPartitioned
Our opinion is that if you really _have_ to use PGP/Inline that you must do so manually using Kleopatra's notepad and Encrypted files.
I am a bit unsure if I just close this as "Wontfix" or move it to Wishlist. I think for now I go with Wishlist but do not expect that feature soon. At least until maybe some really important use case comes up.
Anyway, thanks for your feedback. It is always valuable to know what users would like to have.
Best Regards,
Andre
It's complicated to have a good solution, because we need to change assumption (serial number identifies keys).
