card error message in .gpg-agent.log

Hi,

The following error messages are very common in my /tmp/.gpg-agent.log
(Debian sid system):

---<--------------------cut here---------------start------------------->---
2011-10-05 17:15:25 gpg-agent[2694] gpg-agent (GnuPG) 2.0.18 started
2011-10-05 17:21:36 gpg-agent[2694] error getting default authentication keyID of card: Card error
2011-10-05 17:22:10 gpg-agent[2694] error getting default authentication keyID of card: Not supported
---<--------------------cut here---------------end--------------------->---

What is causing these, and how to solve that? Thanks.

Cheers,

--
Seb

Gpg-agent checks whether a smartcard which features an authentication
key to be used by ssh is available. Such a smartcard based
authentication key is used by gpg-agent to authenticate an ssh session
without the need to first import the ssh key.

Ignore this diagnostic if you don't have a suitable smartcard (e.g. an
OpenPGP or Belgian eID card).

Salam-Shalom,

Werner
