It may be worth taking the time to figure out why the test suite fails.
My understanding of this password manager is that you can always use
gnupg to decrypt the files without the password manager, but I still
think it would be best for a password manager to be able to pass its
test suite. I'd hate for some user who was not proficient with gnupg to
get locked out of their accounts because our pass package was somehow
broken.

Does it matter which version of gnupg is used? We package the 3 branches
of it described here: https://gnupg.org/
