I am still experiencing the problem with sylpheed/3.5.0~beta1~r3420-1 and libgpgme11/1.5.1-5, even in signing this very message. > > I've tried with both sylpheed and claws-mail locally, and got gpg-agent > to prompt me via the usual graphical pinentry each time. > > Is it possible that you don't have a graphical pinentry installed?

Maybe I had pinentry-curses already installed for some reason, or maybe some other condition made aptitude prefer to satisfy the dependency with pinentry-curses...

As far as I am concerned, I think the only mystery left to be investigated (and fixed) is: why didn't I get pinentry-gtk2 pulled in by dependency during the upgrade process? -- http://www.inventati.org/frx/ fsck is a four letter word... .....................................................
