Package: pinentry-gnome3
Version: 1.3.3-2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

As reported upstream on gnupg-devel at gnupg.org in message
id:CAFh6oAwX7_nvXc1PwDayx-s3TzxGG_bnEYSPzMg5dUHCa63n3g at mail.gmail.com ,
when G_MESSAGES_DEBUG is set to some more verbose value, pinentry-gnome3
chokes by dumping Glib/Gcr messages to stdout, which interferes with the
assuan connectivity.

Kernc has provided a patch on that mailing list, attached here.
