With the symptoms as described above. For pinentry that is to be expected. AFAIUI it tries to access /dev/tty and that belongs to the logged in user and does not allow anyone else to write there. The next version of reprepro will add the following sentence in the manpage of --ask-passphrase: (With current versions of gnupg you need to set 'pinentry-mode loopback' in your .gnupg/gpg.conf file to use '--ask-passphrase'. Without that option gnupg uses the much safer and recommended pinentry instead). Bernhard R. Link -- F8AC 04D5 0B9B 064B 3383 C3DA AFFC 96D1 151D FFDC
