It is unset, but it is still set. In gpg2 the "--use-agent" is a dummy option. Read it in the `man gpg' (I can't check it now, but it was so before). > > FWIW, $pgp_use_gpg_agent is unset. > So they don't honor your desire nor you attitude. And neither was my bug report taken seriously: https://bugs.gentoo.org/527338 Read there and in the links to the Gentoo Forums topic therefrom. They want to bind the use of gpg, from gpg2 it is a must, to the gpgme library, which is completely unnecessary, IMO, for simple workstation (the most of users), but I'm not an expert... Try and go back to gpg1, if you can (with your distro), or go and live with the bloat... Cheers! -- Miroslav Rovis Zagreb, Croatia http://www.CroatiaFidelis.hr
