Qubes OS release

Brief summary

split-gpg2 does not work with Sequoia Chameleon.

Steps to reproduce

Use split-gpg2 with Sequoia Chameleon.

Expected behavior

Works

Actual behavior

Fails. Part of this (not supporting NOP) is fixed by QubesOS/qubes-app-linux-split-gpg2#17 but the failure mode is now “unusable secret key” instead of the connection being dropped.

after I shared this issue on on #sequoia on irc.ofct.net, upstream developer neal said:

| h01ger: ideally the chameleon should be fixed rather than client software or if the client software is going to be fixed, perhaps it should use a completely different interface

filed upstream as https://gitlab.com/sequoia-pgp/sequoia-chameleon-gnupg/-/issues/96 now.

upstream asks for more info as grepping GnuPG's source revealed that GnuPG used to have a nop action, but it was removed in 1998...
