Newer versions of gpg should print a better error message; at least with
-v. I guess that your pinentry is not installed or can't be used.
Do you have the option "pinentry-program" in your gpg-agent.conf ? Then
check that it is really there.
Is the environment variable GPG_TTY set as describen in the manual?
Do you get a prompt when calling "pinentry"? If so, does it show up a
window after entering "getpin"?
More information about gpg-agent an pinentry interaction can be seen by
putting
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
log-file /somewhere/gpg-agent.log
verbose
debug ipc
debug-pinentry
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
into gpg-agent.conf and restarting gpg-agent ("pkill gpg-agent" or
"gpgconf --kill gpg-agent").
Salam-Shalom,
