9 I cannot comment directly on the obsolescence of pinentry-gtk2 (most
10 certainly a decision upstream), but the alternative is pinentry-gnome3.

12 The gtk flag was not removed because it now configures pinentry-gnome3
13 instead of -gtk2. You should be able to select that using 'eselect
14 pinentry', but because of [1] you'll have to enable the gtk flag for
15 app-crypt/gcr first and then rebuild app-crypt/pinentry.
