Why is security/pinentry not a dependency of security/gnupg
Hi all. Perhaps someone can share his wisdom with me. I just installed security/gnupg and tried to create a key pair using gpg --gen-key. After issuing the command gnupg barfed at me that pinentry could not be started. Now I wonder why pinentry is not a dependency of gpg as it seems to rely on it? Or is there some way to use gpg without pinentry?

Or is there some way to use gpg without pinentry? If there is I certainly couldn't find it. gnupg alwyas seems to want to see the passphrase. At the most inconvenient times. Its' a real PITA. --- Gary Jennejohn ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
