Thanks for the tip. I just tried your suggestion, installed pinentry-curses, which installed without error but I am getting the same error when trying generate keys, just as before. > 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.

You're right there's some information I accidentally left out. I have a standard debian 8 jessie install which included gnupg v 1.4.18. I then downloaded and installed from gnupg.org the source code for version GnuPG modern 2.1.16 and needed libraries. With that said you can pick up with the opening line of this thread. I hope I didn't leave anything out this time. I'm really starting to feel I missed a step along the way and messed up the install. I suppose I could do a fresh install of the OS and just use the 1.4.18 version otherwise I'm not aware of what to do differently on my second attempt. I feel as though I followed the instructions. It probably some basic linux config that I'm too new to know about, LOL.
