Setting Importance to low since there is an easy workaround
** Description changed:
Binary package hint: enigmail
I installed intrepid from scratch on a different partition and copied
the .gnupg folder into the new user for intrepid. When I use enigmail
(within thunderbird) in intrepid, I get the following error message
OpenPGP Security Info
Error - secret key needed to decrypt message
gpg command line and output:
/usr/bin/gpg --charset utf8 --batch --no-tty --status-fd 2 -d --use-agent
gpg: NOTE: old default options file `/home/raj-intrepid/.gnupg/options'
ignored
gpg: problem with the agent - disabling agent use

gpg: public key decryption failed: bad passphrase

(e-mail addresses and key IDs are redacted)
I do enter the correct passphrase. I have tried the same in hardy and
everything works still fine.
The difference to Bug #268951 is that I get a window to enter the
passphrase and I am able to enter the correct one. Still I get the same
result.

+ WORKAROUND:
+
+ use "sudo update-alternatives --config pinentry" and choose pinentry-qt
+ instead of pinentry-qt4
