Package: pinentry-curses
Version: 0.8.3-1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
Since the upgrade to 0.8.3-1 pinentry-curses is no longer able to show
multiline prompts. This is problematic when used with gpg-agent, since for
instance the key ID that is being unlocked is no longer visible.
Here is a minimal example:
pinentry-curses --lc-ctype=en_US.UTF8 --ttyname=$(tty) END
SETDESC This is%0Aa multiline%0Aprompt.%0A
SETPROMPT
GETPIN
END
0.8.3-1 shows some garbage after the first linefeed (encoded as %0A as per the
PIN-entry protocol), whereas 0.8.1-1 shows a correct 3-lines prompt.
FWIW, the following (multiline) prompt used by gpg2 (2.0.22-3) is properly
passed to the gpg-agent (2.0.22-3) as shown in the log, but pinentry-curses
0.8.3-1 only shows the first line.
SETDESC Please enter the passphrase to unlock the secret key for the OpenPGP
certificate:%0A%22Guilhem Moulin guil...@fripost.org%22%0A4096-bit RSA key,
ID 0xC27306B86774D6F7,%0Acreated 2012-11-05 (main key ID 0x39278DA8109E6244).%0A
Cheers,

Guilhem.
