If you only want to use the command line (i.e. text mode) and do not need a GUI, you'll probably need the pinentry-curses package. Install it by typing: sudo apt-get install pinentry-curses There's one thing I don't really understand: In your first mail you talked about your laptop with Debian Jessie, and that it has gnupg 1.4.18 pre-installed. I think the whole info should be: Debian Jessie (standard install) has gnupg 1.4.18 AND gnupg 2.0.26 pre-installed. Or how would you be able to issue a command gpg2 at all? Or do you have a text-mode only pre-installed Debian Jessie with both gnupg versions? HTH Stephan
