Good one, the symlink. It makes me wonder: is the agent looking in the right place for the pinentry? Perhaps if you compile your own GnuPG and install it in /usr/local/*, it will look for /usr/local/bin/pinentry only? The Debian jessie pinentry-curses package uses the alternatives system, which means that /usr/bin/pinentry will be a symlink to /etc/alternatives/pinentry, and if the only pinentry alternative is pinentry-curses, that will in turn be a symlink to /usr/bin/pinentry-curses. So by installing the Debian pinentry-curses package, David should already have a /usr/bin/pinentry. HTH, Peter. -- I use the GNU Privacy Guard (GnuPG) in combination with Enigmail.
