Silencing MDC Warning with gnupg 2.2.8.

Hi, With the arrival of gnupg 2.2.8-1 on Arch Linux this command applied to members of an archive of files on read-only media fails because they old enough not to have Modification Detection Codes. gpg -q --batch --no-mdc-warning -d --passphrase-fd 0 foo.gpg I see that --ignore-mdc-error dow

powertop(8) Points at gpg-agent.

Hi, gnupg 2.1.18-1 on Arch Linux. I noticed powertop ranking the gpg-agents, one per user, quite highly, and their impact is multiplied by their number. strace(1) showed the two-second select(2) timing out with no syscalls in between, and the forking of two siblings to have a `GETINFO pid' chat

Key Used to Lookup Symmetric Passphrase.

Hi, I'm using gnupg 2.1.18-1 on Arch Linux. `gpg -c foo' asks for a passphrase. I enter `p-foo' twice. For file bar it's `p-bar'. `gpg -d foo.gpg' doesn't prompt, which is good, getting the passphrase from the agent. Ditto bar.gpg. If I rename foo.gpg to xyzzy.gpg it still doesn't prompt, fi
