Dear Maintainer,

* What led up to the situation?

  When "pinentry-program /usr/bin/pinentry-gtk-2" is in ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf or
  pinentry-gtk-2 is set a an alternative for pinentry, gpg gives:

  gpg: problem with the agent - disabling agent use
  Enter passphrase:

  In log:

  gpg-agent[18349]: chan_7 -> ERR 67109124 Invalid IPC response <GPG Agent>

  It works fine with pinentry gnome and curses. Also pinentry-gtk-2 works fine when used directly,
  that is why I post the bug here.
