[SOLVED] gpg-agent: no gpg-agent running in this session

[bertaerts]

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.

I created a bug report for this issue: https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5684
Bug 5684 - gpg-agent: no gpg-agent running in this session

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
