I think ilf is quite correct that you need to enter your passphrase to do an export from the agent-managed store in private-keys-v1.d. The encryption in the private key store is not the same as the encryption of a transferable OpenPGP private key anymore, so it needs to be decrypted and re-encrypted, which is why you're asked for your passphrase. > This works in both GnuPG 1.x and 2.x I think it would have worked in 1.x and 2.0. But for 2.1+, it no longer works, and > Don't use gpg-agent for this. you actually really need the agent to access the private keys from GnuPG 2.1+. So what ilf probably needs is something that can read the private keybox format. That's where my advice falls short: I can't help with that. HTH, Peter. -- I use the GNU Privacy Guard (GnuPG) in combination with Enigmail. You can send me encrypted mail if you want some privacy.
