Ordinarily, on my system, only pinentry-gnome3 is installed as I use Gnome. To have an idea of your situation, I just installed other versions of pinentry. didier@hp-notebook14:~$ update-alternatives --display pinentry-x11 pinentry-x11 - mode automatique link best version is /usr/bin/pinentry-gnome3 le lien pointe actuellement sur /usr/bin/pinentry-gnome3 link pinentry-x11 is /usr/bin/pinentry-x11 slave pinentry-x11.1.gz is /usr/share/man/man1/pinentry-x11.1.gz /usr/bin/pinentry-fltk - priorité 70 lien secondaire pinentry-x11.1.gz : /usr/share/man/man1/pinentry-fltk.gz /usr/bin/pinentry-gnome3 - priorité 90 lien secondaire pinentry-x11.1.gz : /usr/share/man/man1/pinentry-gnome3.1.gz /usr/bin/pinentry-gtk-2 - priorité 85 lien secondaire pinentry-x11.1.gz : /usr/share/man/man1/pinentry-gtk-2.1.gz /usr/bin/pinentry-qt - priorité 80 lien secondaire pinentry-x11.1.gz : /usr/share/man/man1/pinentry-qt.1.gz /usr/bin/pinentry-qt4 - priorité 80 lien secondaire pinentry-x11.1.gz : /usr/share/man/man1/pinentry-qt4.1.gz I would say that your system is not aware of an alternative version of pinentry-x11 other than pinentry-fltk. So unless the end-user program you are using is overwriting the default setting, it seems adequate to me that pinentry-fltk is used. You probably need to create alternatives entries (normally, that is automatically made by installing a particular version of pinentry-*, but you can try an apt reinstall or a dpkg-reconfigure of the problematic package), and then to declare priorities between alternatives in order to favor the flavor (qt?) you prefer.
