See man gpg-agent for details about GPG_TTY.
What details? It does not say anything useful about it: "You should always add the following lines to your .bashrc or whatever initialization file is used for all shell invocations: GPG_TTY=$(tty) export GPG_TTY It is important that this environment variable always reflects the output of the tty command." That breaks if you run xterm or screen without invoking a login shell. Why the heck does this need to be a hard-to-control environment variable at all? Why can't gpg — which is inevidently invoked — call tty at program start itself (and thus always get the right value, even if an xterm-started-from-an-xterm is used)? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
