Mageia cauldron x86_64
Since the update for Thunderbird:
thunderbird-enigmail-10.0.4-1.mga2
thunderbird-10.0.4-1.mga2
GnuPG no longer works in Thunderbird.
When entering gpg-agent in terminal, I get
gpg-agent: no gpg-agent running in this session
Where is gpg-agent started?

Actually this has nothing to do with thunderbird. gpg-agent is started via /etc/X11/xinit.d/gpg-agent or /etc/profile.d/gpg-agent.sh. The former gets started on every bash prompt and ssh login, the other only runs under X11 logins.

Now I tried once more with Thunderbird and ... GnuPG works again with enigmail.
In .gnupg I removed the following file:
.gnupg/gpg-agent-info
Was that doing the trick?
But gpg-agent does not run while I decode an email with Thunderbird:
[bert@Dell1720Mageia2 ~]$ ps faux | grep gpg-agent
bert 3893 0.0 0.0 12660 884 pts/1 S+ 22:01 0:00 \_ grep
--color gpg-agent
