Debian 13 (trixie) #debian #gnupg

A week or so ago I upgraded my laptop to the upcoming Debian 13 (trixie). I was hoping that it would fix VLC not showing any pictures for some videos (it didn't help, the fix was to change "Hardware-accelerated decoding" from "VDPAU video decoder" to "VA-API video decoder").

The only problem I have had so far is GnuPG, which has changed behaviour, so now it tries all private keys when decrypting eg my .authinfo.gpg - prompting for cards and what have you.

It also broke the integration with Emacs, which is annoying as my password manager is simply a gpg-encrypted text file.

Downgrading to the gnupg package in Debian 12 (bookworm) helped, so that's my solution so far.
