When I use gpg2 --edit-key <emailaddress>, and then use passwd to
change/remove
passphrase by entering a blank passphrase. I get hung in an input loop
lqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqk
x Please re-enter this passphrase x
x x
x Passphrase ________________________________________ x
x x
x <OK> <Cancel> x

You don't want a passphrase - this is probably a *bad* idea!
Do you really
want to do this? (y/N)
I truss the process (this is on Solaris 10), and I see it receiving the
"y\r" but it doesn't continue.
I can type N enter, and see 'N\r" also.
So not sure if it is a local issue with tty, compile issue with pinentry,
or gnupg?
But it accepts my original passphrase, and hitting enter twice and
selecting yes I want to do it, gets me to this last prompt and it will go
no further.
Hmmm:
Thinking the compile/linking of pinentry is the cause. I've seen this
before, but just ran
pinentry --version
ld.so.1: pinentry-curses: fatal: libiconv.so.2: open failed: No such file
or directory
Killed
seems I have to modify LD_LIBRARY_PATH to get pinentry to work; but this
change was made en enviornment when I tried changing passphrase above. Not
sure where the input problem is being generated.
$ pinentry --version
pinentry-curses (pinentry) 0.9.0
$ gpg2 --version
gpg (GnuPG) 2.0.26
libgcrypt 1.6.2
