pinentry-qt is currently broken

09 March 2024, 11:28:37

Hi all,

yesterday, I updated my system, and all kind of KF6 packages have been installed. This broke pinentry-qt:

Using pass, I got

Code: [Select]

gpg: public key decryption failed: No pinentry
gpg: decryption failed: No pinentry

but it's properly configured to pinentry-qt. Starting it manually yields

Code: [Select]

pinentry-qt: error while loading shared libraries: libKF5WaylandClient.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

A current workaround is to set

Code: [Select]

pinentry-program /usr/bin/pinentry

in ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf, this will cause the GTK dialog to be used.

Would be nice if pinentry-qt was rebuilt :-) Thanks in advance!

Cheers, Tobias

And while we're at it: What are the plans for https://bugs.artixlinux.org/ ? Will one be able to register and use a real bugtracker soonish?

It's all setup, but we haven't decided yet if and when.

I just tried to build it myself to get a functional pinentry-qt back.

Actually, the build is not broken, it's just a missing dependency: As soon as kwayland5 is installed, pinentry-qt works again.

This is now listed as an optional dependency and apparently wasn't before.
