Hi,

Once upon a time, installing gnupg didn't require pinentry, and I
could run it quite happily on the command line. However, nowadays if I
install the port it drags in pinentry and a whole set of graphical
libraries that I don't really need on a headless box. Is pinentry
really required for gnupg to run correctly?

Cheers.
