Description Alexander Zimmerer 2006-07-18 03:08:39 UTC 
When trying to encrypt a file with symmetric encryption the following happens:
(this works on other distributions)

gentoo ~ # gpg --symmetric DATA
gpg-agent[18920]: command get_passphrase failed: Operation cancelled
gpg: cancelled by user
gpg: error creating passphrase: invalid passphrase
gpg: symmetric encryption of `DATA' failed: invalid passphrase
gentoo ~ #

please test with gnupg-1.4.5 and gnupg-1.9.22 (you need both of them) and report back. REOPEN if it still occurs.
