[Bug 278177] Re: Kontact: No possibility to enter en- or decryption passphrase --> "passphrase" is invalid

[^rooker]

Similar problem when using a smartcard & Kgpg in konqueror. 
Kgpg never asks for the PIN, accesses the smartcard with an empty one - and then returns the error "Decryption failed".

WARNING:
Don't try this more than *once*, since it decreases your PIN-retry counts on your smartcard.


Here's the exact error from Kgpg (with some personal info removed):

It seems that Kgpg thinks it asked me for a pin? ("GET_HIDDEN
passphrase.pin.ask / GOT_IT")
