Slight problem with pinentry / gnupg



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

┌─────────────────────── ─────────────┐
│ You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for user: │

│ │
│ Passphrase *************_________________________________ │

│ <OK> <Cancel> │
└─────────────────────── ─────────────┘

pinentry in free(): error: chunk is already free

gpg: problem with the agent: IPC write error
gpg: Invalid passphrase; please try again ...

You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for
user: "Greg Bernard <gregory.bernard@xxxxxxxxx>"
1024-bit DSA key, ID 1BA3C2FD, created 2002-01-14

gpg: problem with the agent: IPC write error
gpg: no default secret key: General error
gpg: signing failed: General error


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 ??
