Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers usually do not have translators to read other languages for them. Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org mailing list. Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug and the precise symptoms of the bug: Hello, please Cc: me, I'm not subscribed to the list. I cannot use the EasyPG interface with my OpenPGP smartcard [1] and the OmniKey CardMan 6121 USB [2]: the light on the reader blinks, EasyPG asks me for the passphrase and then it gives the error below. It doesn't matter if the passphrase is correct or not and indeed the one included in the debug message is wrong. FWIW, gnus/pgg works without any problem with the same smartcard and reader. Thx, bye, Gismo / Luca Footnotes: [1] http://www.g10code.de/p-card.html [2] http://omnikey.aaitg.com/index.php?id=products&tx_okprod_pi1[product]=29 ===== Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Process epg not running") process-send-string(# "123456\n") byte-code("Æ!:ƒÆ!@‚Æ!
