-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Package: keychain Version: 2.5.5-3 Severity: normal
When using keychain to add a GPG key, I am experiencing an error message that seems to say that keychain thinks pinentry is not installed, though it is. Below is the repeatable output in a login shell: *** Begin sample output *** KeyChain 2.5.5; http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/keychain/ Copyright 2002-2004 Gentoo Foundation; Distributed under the GPL * Found existing ssh-agent (7203) * Found existing gpg-agent (7185) * Adding 2 ssh key(s)...
