Correct.  The gpg-agent takes care of private keys and does not know
about gpg or gpgsm.  Deleting a private key is not easy because it may
be used by several protocols.  This is the reason you see an extra
confirmation message when trying to delete a private key.

BTW, the use of the --keyring option is in general not a good idea.  We
would very much like to entirely get rid of them due to the problems
assocciated with that kludge (or well, that upward compatibility with
PGP).


Shalom-Salam,
