With gnupg 2.1, my OpenPGP card's key cannot be used anymore:

$ gpg -K
/home/thomas/.gnupg/pubring.gpg
-------------------------------
sec dsa1024/31CFFD50 2005-09-04
uid [ultimate] Thomas Bächler <thomas.baechler@gmx.de>
uid [ultimate] Thomas Bächler <thomas.baechler@rwth-aachen.de>
ssb elg2048/648E6F29 2005-09-04

sec rsa4096/8E4B1A25 2011-05-04
uid [ultimate] Thomas Bächler <thomas@archlinux.org>
ssb rsa4096/20016BDB 2011-05-04

If I try to sign something with it, gnupg reports that there is no private key.

With gnupg 2.0, I get this output:

$ gpg -K
/home/thomas/.gnupg/secring.gpg

However, the --card-status command works just fine with the new version.
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Not a bug

Could you please report this upstream to https://bugs.gnupg.org/gnupg/ ?

This version was promoted from testing today, which basically means I cannot read (encrypted) mail anymore.
With this known regression, why is this the new 'current' version?

All is well. After talking to upstream (K_F on #gnupg was very helpful) I learned that you need to recreate the stubs once, because the keystore format changed for opengpg keys (not ssh keys though).

I can use my smart card again after running

gpg-connect-agent learn /bye

once. I'd therefor suggest closing this bug and the one upstream, Thomas, if you can confirm the solution?
Maybe this change warrants a note of some sorts though? archlinux.org or .. somewhere?

I was unable to find that command anywhere, I will try it tomorrow.

It works for me after disabling my card reader's pinpad by adding `disable-pinpad` to ~/.gnupg/scdaemon.conf. If not, it complains that the public key is not found.

I can confirm that issuing "gpg-connect-agent learn /bye" solves the issue. It would *very* useful to have this information displayed to the user after upgrading the package.

Yes, this helps.
