[pkg-cinnamon] Bug#825756: Bug#825756: cinnamon-session: stopped using/working with gpg-agent

[Norbert Preining]

Hi Marga,

thanks for taking care of this bug. Unfortunately I have not much idea
about how all this session thingy works, but I try to give you
all the infos I have.

So I have
.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf
	enable-ssh-support

processes:
 2257 ?        Ss     0:00 ssh-agent
 2328 ?        Ss     0:00 /usr/bin/gpg-agent --daemon
 2540 ?        Sl     0:00 /usr/lib/policykit-1-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1

.xsession-errors:
...
	# the following is the output of the gpg-agent being started
SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/home/norbert/.gnupg/S.gpg-agent.ssh; export SSH_AUTH_SOCK;
...
	# many dbus-update-activation-environment lines
...
	# mind that the PID here is the ssh-agent, not the gpg agent
dbus-update-activation-environment: setting SSH_AGENT_PID=2257
...
dbus-update-activation-environment: setting SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/home/norbert/.gnupg/S.gpg-agent.ssh
...
dbus-update-activation-environment: setting GPG_AGENT_INFO=/home/norbert/.gnupg/S.gpg-agent:0:1
...
** (polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1:2550): WARNING **: Unable to register authentication agent: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Error.Failed: An authentication agent already exists for the given subject
Cannot register authentication agent: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Error.Failed: An authentication agent already exists for the given subject


So it seems to me that he ssh-agent gots started too early (at all)
and overrides the gpg-agent ...but I really don't know.

Anything else I can provide?

All the best

Norbert
