pinentry-mac version 05 fails under MacGPG2 2.0.16
Reported by Charly | January 8th, 2011 @ 12:53 AM | in 2.0.18 (closed)
- Removed the existing pinentry-mac (MacGPG2 Project) from its
location at:
/usr/local/libexec/pinentry-mac.app/Contents/MacOS/pinentry-mac. - Quit Terminal, relaunched it, ascertained that the line was
now
/usr/local/libexec/pinentry-mac.app/Contents/MacOS/ - Downloaded pinentry-mac
https://github.com/downloads/GPGTools/pinentry-mac/pinentry-mac_0.5...,
expanded it, and copied pinentry-mac to
/usr/local/libexec/pinentry-mac.app/Contents/MacOS/
/usr/local/libexec/pinentry-mac.app/Contents/MacOS/ - Quit Terminal, relaunched it, and ascertained that the line was
now:
/usr/local/libexec/pinentry-mac.app/Contents/MacOS/pinentry-mac - Logged out, logged back in, launched GPGMail, and
Thunderbird+Enigmail.
- In each of the two above MUAs, I tried to decrypt a saved
encrypted message.
- Decryption failed, error message included:
no pinentry
[particulars about the public keys used to encrypt the message] problem with gpg-agent
no public key. - Restarted the computer, repeated actions as in paragraph 6
above. Same results as in paragraph 7.
- Ran MacGPG2 2.0.16 installer, restarted the computer,
everything works fine again: pinentry-mac (MacGPG2 Project) pops
up, I enter the passphrase, message is decrypted and signature is
verified. For the the next encrypted messages, pinentry-mac does
not pop up, no need to enter the passphrase, the message is
decrypted and verified.
To sum up, pinentry-mac version 0.5 (GPGTools Project) fails under MacGPG2

You must replace pinentry-mac.app and not only the binary under pinentry-mac.app/Contents/MacOS.

After replacing pinentry-mac.app at the correct location, as indicated in Mento's update, pinentry-mac version 0.5 performs its function.
I apologize for the wrong replacing action. -
