>Description:
A long-time headache of mine has a solution.

Signing and encrypting in mail/sylpheed* with security/gpgme dependent on security/gnupg fails, and gives only the following statement in the sylpheed log:
"** Sylpheed-WARNING: pgp_sign(): signing failed: ..."

And "gpg --edit-key" results in "gpg-agent[5460]: can't connect to the PIN entry module: ..."

Using security/gpgme with security/gnupg1 produces no such error.

After searching the web for a while, I found a solution. Adding security/pinentry
solved both those problems fairly easy.

So where am I going with this?

I am suggesting to add security/pinentry as a dependency when security/gpgme is used in conjunction with security/gnupg. Or at least to make it an option.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install:
mail/sylpheed3
security/gnupg
security/gpgme

Create an account, a key, and try so send a signed and/or encrypted e-mail.
>Fix:
Install security/pinentry
