["Justin Mason (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-1195?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_12481655 ] 

Justin Mason commented on INFRA-1195:
-------------------------------------

a new package called 'pinentry' is now a requirement of gpg, apparently, though not a build-req (god only knows why not).

ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/pinentry/pinentry-0.7.2.tar.gz

it requires libiconv, in turn.  what a mess...

> This used to work; looks like someone modifed the gpg binary in /usr/local/bin/gpg     on March 5th, presumably via an upgrade.
