Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnupg-agent
The 90gpg-agent script incorrectly assumes that by calling gpg-agent without arguments it will not create another gpg-agent. I find this assumption to be false. Thereby, it creates an orphan gpg-agent or not one at all. The correct way to check for it would be to use gpg-connect-agent. I have a patch for this.
