Description Kjo Hansi Glaz 2017-05-14 09:05:21 UTC 
When I open seahorse, I select a key and I try to sign that key, then I get a "General Error" the first time. When I try again to sign the same key then everything goes fine.

Seahorse version is 3.20.0-3.1 (that is upstream seahorse 3.20.0 with cdfc5b2 applied)

Seahorse output:

(seahorse:10389): seahorse-CRITICAL **: file
pgp/seahorse-gpgme-key-op.c: line 551 (sign_transit): should not be reached

I think that a part of the fix for the new status line KEY_CONSIDERED introduced in gpg 2.1.13 is still missing.
Comment 1 Kjo Hansi Glaz 2017-05-14 13:07:50 UTC 
My assumption that this issue was related to KEY_CONSIDERED seems wrong. Seahorse status in sign_transit (pgp/seahorse-gpgme-key-op.c) is GPGME_STATUS_PINENTRY_LAUNCHED. That explains why this only happens on the 1st launch. On the 2nd launch, the passphrase is cached and pinentry is not launched.
Comment 2 Kjo Hansi Glaz 2017-05-14 15:22:08 UTC 
This bug looks similar to #769957 (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=769957).

kgpg just ignores GPGME_STATUS_PINENTRY_LAUNCHED: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=782612
