Using loopback pin entry with GnuPG 2.1

[Vinay Sajip]

Dear Werner,

Thanks for the suggestions. My comments are:

>  $ gpg-error 67108924
>  67108924 = (4, 60) = (GPG_ERR_SOURCE_GPGAGENT, GPG_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED) \
>                     = (GPG Agent, Not supported)

gpg-error is apparently not shipped with all distros - there's no sign of it on my Ubuntu system. Is there a list of error codes with meanings published somewhere (other than in gpg-error.h)?

I did the following:

> watchgnupg --force /home/foo/.gnupg/S.log

> in a second terminal and add this to gpg-agent.conf:

>  log-file socket:///home/foo/.gnupg/S.log
>  verbose
>  debug ipc


The second window now shows traffic with the agent, e.g.:

[client at fd 4 connected (local)]
4 - 2016-11-04 10:04:10  started
4 - 2016-11-04 10:04:10 gpg-agent[1897]: DBG: chan_6 -> OK Pleased to meet you, process 1897

4 - 2016-11-04 10:04:10 gpg-agent[1897]: DBG: chan_6 -> OK

4 - 2016-11-04 10:04:10 gpg-agent[1897]: DBG: chan_4 -> BYE
4 - 2016-11-04 10:04:10 gpg-agent[1897]: DBG: chan_6 <- BYE
4 - 2016-11-04 10:04:10 gpg-agent[1897]: DBG: chan_6 -> OK closing connection
4 - 2016-11-04 10:04:10 gpg-agent[1897]: handler 0x7f960ce8b700 for fd 6 terminated


However, when I run the tests (and they fail as before, with the same error code), no further details are displayed by watchgnupg.

Do you have any further suggestions?

Thanks and regards,
