This suggests that the problem you're seeing is pinentry rejecting your
signature. What version(s) of pinentry do you have installed and what
is your default?
dpkg -l 'pinentry-*'
readlink -f $(which pinentry)
grep -i pinentry ~/.gnupg/*.conf
Is all your work being done within an X11 session, or are you connecting
to this machine via ssh or a text-mode terminal? if X11, what graphical
environment are you using (e.g. gnome, kde, etc)?
--dkg
signature.asc
