19 Hmm ... I saw that but I can't see the pinentry in there:
20
21 $ gpg-agent --version
22 gpg-agent (GnuPG) 2.0.14
23 libgcrypt 1.4.5

33 I will file a bug, but I am not entirely sure what I should file it under, so
34 that it does not get rejected:
35
36 gpg-agent which is calling pinentry-qt?
37
38 app-crypt/pinentry, because it's done away with my previous pinentry-qt
39 symlink to the pinentry binary?
40
41 qt3 to qt4 move (in case this is linked to qt3 becoming deprecated)?
42
43 Thank you so much for holding my hand on this! :-)
