So, the problem seems to be the option `--digest-algo SHA1` (sha1
generates a 160 bit hash). If I remove it, I can sign a file
successfully. This might be because my key is 2048 bit, I don't
really know though.
I created a new 4096-bit RSA key and I could sign without any
problems. So either the problem was that I used a DSA key for signing,
or a 2048-bit DSA key. At least we know what the problem is, I might
not be the only one with that issue (now or in the future).
I think DSA is a at least a hint to what the problem is. From RFC 4880:
“DSA signatures MUST use hashes that are equal in size to the number
of bits of q, the group generated by the DSA key's generator value.”
Also, this time the GPGTools passphrase dialog popped up, so the
problem with my homebrew setup probably is that the corresponding
`pinentry` application only works in the console.
Of course, I should have thought of that. Sorry.
