Changing key's passphrase in an automated way

[gnupgpacker]

Hello,

did try it too:

Thomas' attempt gave me with Gpg-1.4.18:
gpg: verwende Vertrauensmodell PGP
[GNUPG:] GET_LINE keyedit.prompt
[GNUPG:] GOT_IT
[GNUPG:] USERID_HINT 5D4F1C79E62651B3 testpassw tester (44) <test44 at edu.com>
[GNUPG:] NEED_PASSPHRASE 5D4F1C79E62651B3 5D4F1C79E62651B3 1 0
[GNUPG:] BAD_PASSPHRASE 5D4F1C79E62651B3
[GNUPG:] GET_LINE keyedit.prompt
[GNUPG:] GOT_IT


John's hint with 
ECHO -e PASSWD\nMyOldPassword\nMyNewPassword\nSAVE|GPG --command-fd 0 --no-tty --passphrase-repeat 0 --status-fd 2 --verbose --edit-key E62651B3
gave me just:
gpg: verwende Vertrauensmodell PGP
[GNUPG:] GET_LINE keyedit.prompt
[GNUPG:] GOT_IT
[GNUPG:] GET_LINE keyedit.prompt
[GNUPG:] GOT_IT

It seems that old password isn't accepted by batch cmd. Why?

MyOldPassword is definitely correct and works if editing same test key for example with addkey !?

Thanks, Chris
