With recent gpg versions, the agent socket location is at a standard location in the file system, so does not need to be passed via the environment. Because of that, it is not necessary to start the agent at session startup. This should apply to both Tumbleweed and Leap 15.0. However, for Leap 42.3, it still needs to be started as session startup because that's using an older gpg version. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
