Please discuss this issue with GnuPG upstream. My understanding is generally that (gnome) seahorse-agent esentially *replaces* gpg-agent, see https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Seahorse/SessionIntegration This is possibly gpgme upstream reaction to bug reports about it. :-/ See also, https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GNOME_Keyring#Disable_Keyring_daemon for a suggestion on how to disable it. And (in comments), http://stef.thewalter.net/2010/05/gpg-agent-in-gnome-keyring.html (In reply to Rex Dieter from comment #2) > My understanding is generally that (gnome) seahorse-agent esentially > *replaces* gpg-agent, see > https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Seahorse/SessionIntegration Yes > This is possibly gpgme upstream reaction to bug reports about it. :-/ Would be curious to see them. I've never had a problem. > See also, > https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GNOME_Keyring#Disable_Keyring_daemon > > for a suggestion on how to disable it. Er, that involves symlinking desktop files to /dev/null... I'm sure that will work, but a bit of a stretch to suggest it's "configuring" (In reply to Rex Dieter from comment #3) > And (in comments), > http://stef.thewalter.net/2010/05/gpg-agent-in-gnome-keyring.html Startup Applications is gnome-session-properties, which has been removed as mentioned above. We don't let users configure startup applications anymore. (In reply to Tomas Mraz from comment #1) > Please discuss this issue with GnuPG upstream. Fair enough, but I'm not planning to :) Whatever upstreams think, I don’t think we should be shipping a distribution with two components that fight like this. A harmless warning would be slightly annoying, but this is user-visible: reportedly it causes spurious “decryption failed” errors in Enigmail. Either there are legitimate problems with gnome-keyring, and it either should be fixed or modified to stop providing the agent services, or the system works fine and we should disable the warning message. I am not planning to remove the message unless somebody agrees to thoroughly test the compatibility of gnome-keyring with gnupg2. FWIW the relevant upstream discussions: https://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-devel/2014-August/028689.html . None of the directly applicable upstream bug reports point to this. This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '20'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. I think this bug is gone. Can anyone confirm that and close this bug report? Yeah, this is long since fixed. |
