it looks like since -r4 the gtk use flag only compiles the pinentry-gnome3 and disables the pinentry-gtk2 binary altogether. I do not have a full gnome desktop to use -gnome3 tho. adding $(use_enable gtk pinentry-gtk2) and removing the disable-pinentry-gtk2 in the ebuild fixes my problem. [ebuild R ] app-crypt/pinentry-1.1.0-r4::gentoo USE="caps gtk ncurses -emacs -gnome-keyring -qt5" 0 KiB please don't remove functionality present in the upstream package. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge pinentry with +gtk 2. fail to find /usr/bin/pinentry-gtk-2 3. Actual Results: ~/.gnupg $ pinentry-gnome3 No $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS found, falling back to curses OK Pleased to meet you ~/.gnupg $ grep pinentry *.conf gpg-agent.conf:pinentry-program /usr/bin/pinentry-gtk-2 so decrypting files will fail with $ gpg --decrypt resolv.conf.asc gpg: encrypted with 4096-bit RSA key, ID B28F87A6E90628CD, created 2016-01-08 "Petre Rodan <petre.rodan@cyberghost.ro>" gpg: public key decryption failed: No pinentry gpg: decryption failed: No secret key Expected Results: expect to find /usr/bin/pinentry-gtk-2 after merge
