Package: gnupg-agent Version: 2.1.18-6 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
As a simple test, open a new file "test.gpg" in emacs. Type in some text and try saving the file. Emacs loads "keys" buffer to query which key is to be used to encrypt the file. Choose symmetric encryption by selecting "ok". This brings up the pinentry screen asking for a passphrase. The pinentry dialog refuses to accept input no matter what I try. The only way forward is to wait for the pinentry to timeout returning back to emacs without having saved the file. The following appears in the "*Messages*" buffer of emacs - "Opening output file: Encrypt failed, Exit" Some detail about my environment that might be relevant in narrowing down the problem - I have no windowing system installed and I'm using emacs from the console. I've tried running emacs in a tmux session as well as over ssh but there's no noticable difference in behaviour. While the passphrase dialog was open, I captured the gpg agent command via ps. Pasting them here as it might help debug the problem. /usr/bin/gpg --no-tty --status-fd 1 --yes --use-agent --enable-progress-filter --command-fd 0 --output /tmp/epg-output24784KpA --symmetric I also see "/usr/bin/gpg-agent --supervised" and "pinentry" running in the same ps output. My current pinentry symlink points to "/usr/bin/pinentry-curses" but I've also tried with "pinentry-tty" with no joy. I've got the following in ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf allow-emacs-pinentry enable-ssh-support One last thing - I'm running debian in a virtualbox VM on a mac. Please let me know if there's any other relevant information I can provide to help get to the bottom of the problem.
