[Solved] GnuPG b0rks with agent after upgrade

Relevant package upgrade was as follows:

pinentry (0.9.5-2 -> 0.9.7-1)
gnupg (2.1.9-1 -> 2.1.10-1)

Now trying `gpg2 --decrypt <gpg_file>` fails with:

gpg: problem with the agent: No pinentry
gpg: encrypted with 1 passphrase
gpg: decryption failed: No secret key

Besides having to change from pinentry-qt4 to pinentry-qt in gpg-agent.conf, I had to downgrade gnupg back to 2.1.9-1 -- and presto, now it works again! Anyone can confirm? I've perused the GnuPG bugtracker, but I can't find anything similar...

EDIT: forget this, after re-testing it was because of the name change of the pinetry executable; it had nothing to do with gnupg. Marking as solved...

see kwallet complains about gpg after update / pinentry not firing up for the pinentry rename issue with a bit more discussion
