Well my gpg setup is working fine outside emacs.

If emacs wants to use gpg-agent but have no idea how to communicate
with it properly, I think it's an emacs issue.

I'm already using gpg version 1.

Here's how gpg is called when trying to open an encrypted file from
emacs:

gpg --no-tty --status-fd 1 --yes --use-agent --enable-progress-filter
--command-fd 0 --output /tmp/epg-output30120q_p --decrypt -- /home/
fmoreau/Documents/foo.gpg

so it wants to use the gpg-agent.

Is there anyways to avoid this. I just prefer type my passphrase every
time it's needed instead of having a broken interface which drivers me
crazy.

Thanks
