Package: obnam
Version: 1.1-1.1
Severity: normal

When running obnam on a system that has no X server, but then
trying to use encryption, obnam simply fails with

ERROR: gpg: cancelled by user
gpg: decryption failed: secret key not available

I suspect this is due to the fact that obnam is using the TTY
and thus the TTY-based gpg-agent query dialog can't get the
TTY to query for the password.

Just running "gpg --sign" or so works fine and does query for
the password. I could "pre-provision" the key, but then I'd
also have to specify that it can never time out, otherwise
obnam will fail in the middle of a long-running operation.
