Cheers!Įdit: Turns out an update to I presume gpg caused it to no longer automatically know which pinentry application to use. I even tried reinstalling gnupg, gpgme, pinentry, and pass packages, which was challenging given that Pacman has a dependency on a couple of them! I have restarted multiple times as well. I've tried re-exporting/importing the keys (pub + priv), and I've tried killing gpg-agent by various different means, all of this to no success.
It also causes my terminals (tried multiple) to fail to exit without me killing them. As of a week ago I started getting this decryption failed error, interspersed with the occasional timeout error and the occasional success. I'm on Arch with GPG version 2.2.6 (both gpg and gpg2 commands) and latest pass.
