Hi,

What i did:

1. I installed gnupg2 [1] on my linux box [2]
2. I tried  "$ gpg2 --gen-key", chose default options
    and entered my infos (email address, name,…)
    and I got:
       gpg: problem with the agent: Bad CA certificate
       gpg: problem with the agent: Invalid card
       gpg: Key generation canceled.

Am I precise enough or do you need more info, log,…?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Olivier
