FWIW, "sudo aptitude pinentry-ncurses;sudo aptitude purge pinentry-gtk2"
or simply "sudo update-alternatives --config pinentry" should fix the
issue for those with headless installations.
Maybe having gpg-agent depend on "pinentry-ncurses | pinentry-gtk2 |
pinentry" would be a better option over the current situation of
preferring the gtk2 variant (why not qt?). If you want to argue that
case, please open a separate ticket, I suggest.
I agree the change in question had some fallout (and I am a frequent
user of headless systems and often annoyed by the lack of consideration
for that group) but it's been a conscious choice it seems. Setting to
Opinion as resolution.
