Hello, It seems I have a slight problem when trying to issue a simple  
pgp command such as :



# gpg -v --detach-sign -a tmp.txt

Any idea ??

Googling around, I have found a bug reported as :

a ports/79351  lofi       Character passing error in security/ 
pinentry-qt


Which seems to be the same as my problem ??
