Package: pinentry-curses
Version: 0.8.3-2
Followup-For: Bug #750521

Control: severity -1 grave

Setting to grave because it looks like pinentry is completely broken. The gpg 
workaround above works only because it bypasses pinentry entirely.

$ echo GETPIN | pinentry-gtk-2

does not work - it's not responsive to any keyboard input, except I can press 
<enter> to get past the prompt.

$ echo GETPIN | pinentry-curses 

does not work either, even when I do it outside of X, in a ctrl-alt-f1 console. 
I can't even press <enter> to get past the prompt, I have to ctrl-C out of it.

There's a bunch of messages like "pinentry-curses: no LC_CTYPE known - assuming 
UTF-8" but I assume this doesn't affect anything.

Giving the -d flag doesn't appear to produce any debugging output.
