Kernc has provided a patch on that mailing list, attached here. --=-=-= Content-Type: text/x-diff Content-Disposition: inline; filename=pinentry-glib-logging.patch Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable From: Kernc <kerncece@gmail.com> By default, GLib/Gcr/libsecret outputs debug/info logging messages to stdout, but we use that as the Assuan channel, and outputting to it anything but the expected verbs breaks pinentry pipelines in confusing ways. It is unknown whether a similar patch is needed for gtk-2 or other flavors via the 'CLEARPASSPHRASE' command, nor if G_MESSAGES_DEBUG needs unsetting from the environment. An old user reports Gtk-warnings even with pinentry-qt, but their issue needs more verification. https://web.archive.org/web/20260629091849/https://dev.gnupg.org/T4144.html Care must be placed in who inherits our Assuan fds and what they do with them.
