gpg throws "You may want to update to a newer pinentry" error during signing git commit (fresh install) #9
Description
After I applied the installation instructions step by step, I got an error while signing commit. The problem is in the communication between the gpg-agent and the pinentry program as the following debug output shows: 1
$ git commit -v -s -S
gpg-agent[20618]: You may want to update to a newer pinentry
gpg-agent[20618]: failed to unprotect the secret key: Operation cancelled
gpg-agent[20618]: failed to read the secret key
gpg-agent[20618]: command 'PKSIGN' failed: Operation cancelled <Pinentry>
error: gpg failed to sign the data
fatal: failed to write commit objectI reload gpg-agent daemon:
$ gpg-agent --daemon; killall gpg-agent && gpg-agent --daemon --use-standard-socket --pinentry-program /usr/local/bin/pinentry-touchidThis one works:
$ echo GETPIN | pinentry
OK Pleased to meet yougpg-agent:
$ gpg-agent --help
gpg-agent (GnuPG/MacGPG2) 2.2.27
libgcrypt 1.8.7
pinentry-mac:
$ pinentry --help
pinentry-mac (pinentry) 1.1.1
MacBook Pro (16-inch, Late 2019) - macOS 11 - Intel
But the pinentry-mac is working:
$ gpg-agent --daemon; killall gpg-agent && gpg-agent --daemon --use-standard-socket --pinentry-program /usr/local/bin/pinentry-mac
My output logs:
$ cat /tmp/pinentry-touchid.log

2021/10/24 00:09:50 main.go:260: pinentry-mac didn't return a password
Tried this solution but no luck.
Any ideas here? 🤔
