You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for
user: "John Vivirito <email address hidden>"
1024-bit DSA key, ID 764D5E13, created 2008-09-01

gpg-agent[9325]: can't connect server: `ERR 67109133 can't exec `/usr/bin/pinentry': No such file or directory'
gpg-agent[9325]: can't connect to the PIN entry module: IPC connect call failed
gpg-agent[9325]: command get_passphrase failed: No pinentry
gpg: problem with the agent - disabling agent use
Enter the new passphrase for this secret key.

When ever i use gnupg-agent its seems it errors only on password being entered, it always says ".... failed password incorrect" I see this being a bug that is at least important since it has to do with encryption, decryption which in turn may affect the security of emails sent out or received. marking as important
