Looking at https://www.gnupg.org/gph/en/manual/c14.html one would get
the idea that GPG would "just work" given that pinentry is right there

Hello,
afaik gnupg does not search for the helpers on PATH, their location is
built into the binary, running gpgconf should show where it is looking.
Thank you .. that seems to reveal a few things.
This "--list-dirs" seems to be correct :
oberon$ gpgconf --list-dirs
sysconfdir:/usr/local/etc/gnupg
bindir:/usr/local/bin
libexecdir:/usr/local/libexec
libdir:/usr/local/lib/gnupg
datadir:/usr/local/share/gnupg
localedir:/usr/local/share/locale
socketdir:/run/user/16411/gnupg
dirmngr-socket:/run/user/16411/gnupg/S.dirmngr
keyboxd-socket:/run/user/16411/gnupg/S.keyboxd
agent-ssh-socket:/run/user/16411/gnupg/S.gpg-agent.ssh
agent-extra-socket:/run/user/16411/gnupg/S.gpg-agent.extra
agent-browser-socket:/run/user/16411/gnupg/S.gpg-agent.browser
agent-socket:/run/user/16411/gnupg/S.gpg-agent
homedir:/home/dclarke/.gnupg
oberon$
However this seems to be very confused about where pinentry is :
oberon$ gpgconf --list-components
gpg:OpenPGP:/usr/local/bin/gpg
gpgsm:S/MIME:/usr/local/bin/gpgsm
keyboxd:Public Keys:/usr/local/libexec/keyboxd
gpg-agent:Private Keys:/usr/local/bin/gpg-agent
scdaemon:Smartcards:/usr/local/libexec/scdaemon
dirmngr:Network:/usr/local/bin/dirmngr
pinentry:Passphrase Entry:/usr/local
The last line there seems to be missing "/bin/pinentry".
Yep .. that is borked :
oberon$ gpgconf --check-programs
gpgconf: error running '/usr/local': probably not installed
gpg:OpenPGP:/usr/local/bin/gpg:1:1:
gpgsm:S/MIME:/usr/local/bin/gpgsm:1:1:
keyboxd:Public Keys:/usr/local/libexec/keyboxd:1:1:
gpg-agent:Private Keys:/usr/local/bin/gpg-agent:1:1:
scdaemon:Smartcards:/usr/local/libexec/scdaemon:1:1:
dirmngr:Network:/usr/local/bin/dirmngr:1:1:
pinentry:Passphrase Entry:/usr/local:0:0:
oberon$
Even more curious is the missing config file :
oberon$
oberon$ gpgconf --list-config
gpgconf: can't open global config file
'/usr/local/etc/gnupg/gpgconf.conf': No such file or directory
oberon$
So I guess I need to read a pile of manpages and figure out how
to create a config file that tells gpg where things are. This is
bizarre behavior on a UNIX/Linux system where I guess the PATH
just does not matter much. Then again .... I don't know.
