Old gpg password when using gpg-agent
Hello,
After I have changed the password for my gpg key, there is something
very strange:
When I try to sign my mail, the new password is rejected, while the
old one is still valid. Even after I killed the gpg-agent, rebooted my
machine or sacrificed a cpu to the gods of linux...
When I sign a file from commandline, it works just fine:
% gpg --sign test.txt
You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for
user: "Markus Grunwald <markus@the-grue.de>"
4096-bit RSA key, ID 79D7E890, created 2012-05-31
This is somehow scary, because it means my mail program has some
copy/cache/whatever which seems to be my key, but can be unlocked with
the wrong password...
My mail program is sylpheed-claws:
% dpkg -l claws-mail | egrep '^ii'
ii claws-mail 3.14.0-1+b1 amd64 Fast, lightweight and
user-friendly GTK+2 based email client
I even configured claws to use the key 79D7E890 manually, but still
the old password is valid.
I hope you have a hint what could be wrong...
