Hello Werner,

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.

You are either running a version of gpg-agent which is too old or gpg
started that version of gpg-agent but expected another one.  Or there is
another daemon taking over the connection between gpg2 and gpg-agent.
Seahorse as well as the gnome-keychain(?) used to do this (which is
something they should not do).

Adding the options "--verbose --debug 2048" to the command line may give
you some more insight.  Make sure all gpg-agent's are stopped.

I modified a lot my Linux box these last few days:
upgrades, new WM (ratpoison instead of gnome) and so on.

I then tried gpg2 again and I have no error message anymore.
Great! Even though I have no idea what solved my problem.

In a few days, I'll have to install it and use it on
computers running Windows. Hope everything will run fine.

Thanks again,

Olivier
