Description Gabor Garami 2010-07-17 00:08:30 UTC 
The pinentry hangs up when i tried use gpg via 'git tag' command.
I unset GPG_AGENT_INFO environment variable, but the problem is still here.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Log in to any computer via ssh
2. unset GPG_AGENT_INFO
3. try use any program what uses gpg like "git tag -s"
4. requesting passphrase will hang up and you cannot do anything except Ctrl-C

Pinentry puts info message (3x):

pinentry-curses: no LC_CTYPE known - assuming UTF-8

This bug makes gpg unusable via ssh.

Pinentry and gnupg compiled by these flags:

[ebuild   R   ] app-crypt/pinentry-0.8.0  USE="-caps -gtk -ncurses -qt4 -static" 0 kB
[ebuild   R   ] app-crypt/gnupg-2.0.15  USE="bzip2 nls -adns -caps -doc -ldap -openct -pcsc-lite (-selinux) -smartcard -static" 0 kB


* Info: problem independent from ncurses USE flag on pientry.

You have to set GPG_TTY to the output of tty as mandated by the gpg docs, see http://www.gnupg.org/documentation/manuals/gnupg/Common-Problems.html
