Title:
  gpg-agent never asks for passphrase

Status in “gnupg2” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Upgrade from Ubuntu 12.04.4 to 14.04.

  gnupg will not ask for passphrase if needed, instead bail out
  immediately with error "Wrong passphrase".

  In some cases it helps to kill gpg-agent (signing selfcompiled
  binaries), in some cases it does not help at all: Thunderbird with
  enigmail. It is impossible to sign mail at all this way.

  -> broken. GnuPG not working.

  This bug is a security vulnerability, because it is not possible to
  sign or encrypt mail!
