Passphrases no longer found in keyring

[Brad Zynda]

Hello,

Wanted to follow forward with the below topic here as Patrick from
Enigmail suggested.

Quick Summary: CentOS 7 1708 enigmail/pinetry now asks for passphrase
all the time which was not the behavior prior to the recent update.


Thanks,
Brad


Yeah just ran through all the troubleshooting stuff and all works as
expected.

Pop up box with hello

key passhrase prompt and completion with gpg2 --sign

no errors

Will get in touch with the gnupg folks

Thanks,
Brad
