Per https://gpgtools.tenderapp.com/discussions/problems/50028-macgpg2-s...
It was suggested to @mouse008 that the "" issue might be looked into after Sierra was working.
It seems that this is now the case, so it would be great if someone could look into this.
Thanks!

   Hey Jonathan,

   could you test the latest nightly from here: https://releases.gpgtools.org/nightlies/ and let me know if that changes anything regarding the usage of S/MIME and OpenPGP with your smartcard?

   The nightly now comes with gpg 2.1 so we'd be curious to learn if that has changed anything for the better or worse.

   Kind regards,
   steve

   Hi Jonathan,

   unfortunately unless gnupg enables SHARED mode, you'll be continuing to run into issues.
   Following are some workarounds proposed by usb key vendor nitrokey:
   https://www.nitrokey.com/documentation/frequently-asked-questions#o...

   Unless tokend is moved, macOS will try to restart it, which probably causes the latest issue you're seeing.

   Apparently they were quite successful patching gnupg itself, and according to them the single line change we've seen in one of my previous posts (git commit link) suffices.
   https://www.nitrokey.com/documentation/frequently-asked-questions#h...

   We've filed a ticket with gnupg and hope this will be adressed and this now lives in the GnuPG bug tracker as #3267 Should you consider patching gnupg itself, it would be interesting if you could report back your experience with using gnupg in PCSC_SHARED mode

   All the best,
   steve

   Hi Jonathan,

   this issue has been fixed. It would be helpful if you could test the fix. Please download our latest nightly GPG Suite. That page also has sig and SHA1 to verify the download. Build 1932n and later have the fix.

   Then add the line "shared-access" to ~/.gnupg/scdaemon.conf

   Looking forward to your feedback.

   Best, steve

   Disclaimer: This is a development version which has not been thoroughly tested yet, so bugs or crashes are to be expected. Thanks for helping us test this fix.

   This new version 2017.1 (1932n) prompted me to generate a new key when I opened GPG Keychain app. I clicked cancel, but it seems this build does not recognize the keys stored on the Yubikey. If I click on "Show secret keys only" it shows nothing.

   gpg -K works as expected and shows me my key:

   Hi Jonathan,

   i see you have other gpg installations in /opt/local/ (1.4.19 and 2.0.28).
   Please remove them and try it again.
   Be sure to kill any processes from the older versions.

   Regards, Mento

   Hi Steve, Yes, I have command line versions of gpg and gpg2 in /opt/local/
   Sorry, but it is not clear to me what you mean by "remove them" as I need these (GUI has only limited functionality).

   Hi Jonathan,

   when referring to UI you talk about GPG Keychain? GPG Keychain and MacGPG are separate components. You seems to be running gpg 1.4.x, 2.0.x and 2.1.x at the same time. So Mento was suggesting to remove 1.4.x and 2.0.x. That would leave 2.1.x which is used by the UI components of GPG Suite but can be used via CLI just as well.

   All the best,
   steve

    Okay, thanks Mento & Steve. :-)

    UI you talk about GPG Keychain?

    Yes.

    I removed the old versions and had to regenerate key stubs with gpg --card-status.
    I now see private key in GPG Keychain and so far, no sharing violation!
    Will keep testing.

    Although I have not seen the sharing violation, I am now having other issues.

    1. After canceling decryption in Mail, plugin seems to give up on future attempts to decrypt messages (this was happening before). My usual workaround is to close Mail.app and reopen, but now it fails to open each time:

       Mail quit unexpectedly while using the Libmacgpg plug-in. Click Reopen to open the application again. Click Report to see more detailed information and send a report to Apple.

    2. Cannot connect to keyservers. GPG Keychain.app and /usr/local/MacGPG2/bin/gpg both fail no matter which keyserver I choose.
       

       gpg --search-keys D98F0353
       gpg: error searching keyserver: No route to host
       gpg: keyserver search failed: No route to host

    Okay, I solved the key search issue (#2). Seems there were still old versions of related gpg software in /opt/local/bin/: (gpg-agent gpg-connect-agent gpg-error gpg-error-config gpg-zip gpgconf gpgkey2ssh gpgparsemail gpgsm gpgsm-gencert.sh gpgsplit gpgv) and / or needed to kill dirmngr.

    Jonathan, thanks for the updates and testing.

    Does your last reply mean, that issues #1 you mention in comment 11 does no longer happen or does that issue persist for you?

    If it does, please attach the crash log as .txt file to this discussion.

    All the best,
