I confirm setting (setq epg-pinentry-mode 'loopback) in .emacs init file
solves the problem (I get again the minibuffer prompt).
The <contovob <at> tcd.ie> proposed patch leads to minibuffer passphrase
prompts, even with only the old (now obsoleted) variable (setq
epa-pinentry-mode 'loopback) present in the .emacs init file. In other
words, with this patch, users do not have to change the configuration
right away.
Thanks!
