is there a file named "test-message" ? you can find out with: ls -l test-message If that doesn't exist, you can create a simple text file with "example" in it with: echo example > test-message > command gpg-agent shows "gpg-agent: gpg-agent running and available" are you doing this from within a terminal emulator in a graphical environment, or are you doing this entirely from a text-mode virtual terminal? You might do better to debug this problem with gpg over on gnupg-users (i've cc'ed them here).
