Subject: gpg-agent error: No pinentry
Date: Wed, 18 Dec 2019 22:41:27 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191218224127.5192dde2@jasniac.instanton> (raw)

Hello—

I have installed gnupg 2.2.18 and pinentry 1.1.0 on a Guix System.
When I try to import a key, I get this issue:

$ gpg --import publiko-secret.asc 
gpg: key 9FC3734DFB84400D: "Marco van Hulten (publiko) <marco@hulten.org>" not changed
gpg: key 9FC3734DFB84400D/9FC3734DFB84400D: error sending to agent: No pinentry
gpg: error building skey array: No pinentry
gpg: error reading 'publiko-secret.asc': No pinentry
gpg: import from 'publiko-secret.asc' failed: No pinentry
gpg: Total number processed: 0
gpg:              unchanged: 1
gpg:       secret keys read: 1

It seems that the public key is imported but not the private key (I can
encrypt but not decrypt).  On an OpenBSD-current system importing this
key works properly.

Do I need to do any more actions accept for 'guix package -i gnupg
pinentry'?

Thanks,

—Marco
