[Bug 1257706] Re: gpg-agent environment variables not correctly exported

[Janis Danisevskis]

I am another user of OpenPGP-Card ssh authentication.

I have my init/gpg-agent.conf attached. It checks ~/.gnupg/gpg-
agend.conf for the enable-ssh-support option and exports the SSH_
variables conditionally.

I agree with Alex Maurer that the various *-agents start-scritps are
quite messy. But then they stem from various projects, so where is the
right place to start this discussion?

Title:
  gpg-agent environment variables not correctly exported

Status in “gnupg2” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Since Ubuntu 13.10, there is an Upstart script /usr/share/upstart/sessions/gpg-agent.conf which launches the gpg-agent daemon and then export the GPG_AGENT_INFO environment variable:
     initctl set-env --global GPG_AGENT_INFO=$GPG_AGENT_INFO
  This is enough to prevent the /etc/X11/Xsession.d/90gpg-agent script from launching gpg-agent itself, but it's not enough to actually use gpg-agent, you also need to export SSH_AUTH_SOCK and SSH_AGENT_PID.
