           Summary: CLI Gnupg works, Kgpg does not decrypt, gpg-agent does
                    not work
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: larrylaca1 at aol.com


Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.7.3) 
OS:                Linux

Since my upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10 Kgpg will not decrypt files.  Seemingly
part of this is that gpg-agent won't run.  If I create a file 'tester1.doc' I
can encrypt it with my public key and decrypt it with my private key like so:

$ gpg --encrypt --armor tester1.doc

$ gpg --output tester1.clear.doc --decrypt tester1.doc.asc

I get the new file, tester1.clear.doc, which is the decrypted version of the
original.

With Kgpg I get an error message that gpg-agent won't run.  Then I'm prompted
for my passphrase and I get an error that the file cannot be decrypted.   Given
the CLI results and the fact that I can decrypt the same encrypted file in
Windows PGP with the same public/private key pair that I'm using in Kubuntu,
the problem sure looks like Kgpg.  I have very little experience with solving a
problem of this type.  Searching these forums has shown that no one has gotten
an answer to solving a Kgpg problem like this.  Searching the internet also
yielded very little.  I got help with the CLI stuff from Linusquestions.org. 
Does anyone have a solution?  Is there a special forum I should post this
problem on?  Is this a bug I should report?  Everything worked OK in 11.04.

The Kgpg version is 2.6.2  I am not an experienced Linux user.  I am reporting
this bug because;

Given that your researched has turned up no solutions, it does sound like a bug
report is in order.
