Dear all,

today, all of a sudden I get the following error:

gpg: problem with the agent: No pinentry
gpg: skipped "A6AEC86EE10FEF4BCDE8F1B4382304F6F5042944": Operation cancelled
gpg: signing failed: Operation cancelled

I haven't changed anything. I reinstalled gpgtools without any effect. Also rebooting the machine did not work.

   Hi Denis- I wish I had a fix for you, but rest assured you're not going crazy. I too, have just started getting this error message about 20 minutes ago today (16:00 PST, 7-27-15). When I googled it, you post came up first! (congrats!) ;)

   For those troubleshooting, here's the full message that comes up via pop up window:

   Signing your message failed due to defect PIN-Entry!

   The PIN-Entry helper responsible for asking for your passphrase seems to be defect.

   To fix this problem, re-install the newest version of GPGTools

   Should your problem persist, please contact us at https://gpgtools.tenderapp.com/ with the following error description:

   gpg: problem with the agent: No pinentry
   gpg: skipped "0F9D121E457322AC6A6FAFF4E8ABE1FA155CEB1E": Operation cancelled
   gpg: signing failed: Operation cancelled

   Hope that helps!

   Hi Denis and s.,

   this issue is fixed in the nightly build. The fix will be included in the next GPG Suite release.

   Could you please download and install our latest nightly build and see if the problem persists. That page also has sig and SHA1 to verify the download.

   All the best, steve
