Thanks to the help of Mr. Donnachie I am now able to run gnupg2 under
linux, even though gpg-agent regularily dies. Maybe as well be a
distribution issue.
And now the restore with just the public key and the --card-status works.
Either gpg4win behaves differently or maybe I am running into a gpg-agent
issue, too.
However, transfering a disk based secret encryption key to smart card
still does not.
