Dear folks,
I tried to use "preset passphrase" feature but it does not work.
Log shows that gpg-agent seemingly receives passphrase but later
when agent should use the cached passphrase it ask for it again
from pinentry.
Is the problem mentioned by Andreas Hartmann fixed?
(http://www.mail-archive.com/gnupg-users@gnupg.org/msg01518.html)
I have gpg-agent version 2.0.0 from Debian package gnupg-agent
2.0.0-5.2.
Detailed logs:
gpg-agent starts and receives passphrase:

Later I run gpgsm that contacts gpg-agent:

gpg-agent[30442.0] DBG: <- RESET

2008-07-14 11:10:00 gpg-agent[30442] DBG: connection to PIN entry established
Then if I enter the same passphrase as for gpg-preset-passphrase
gpg-agent works well.

Any hints will be appreciated.
