applying to the problem.

Title:
  gpg-agent fails with pinentry-qt4

Status in gnupg2 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in pinentry-qt4 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  With
  pinentry-program /usr/bin/pinentry-qt4
  in
  ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf
  gpg fails:
  $ killall ssh-agent gpg-agent
  $ eval $(gpg-agent --daemon --enable-ssh-support)
  $ env |grep GPG
  GPG_AGENT_INFO=/tmp/gpg-EAhfxo/S.gpg-agent:29145:1
  $ gpg --decrypt foo-message.txt

  You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for
  user: "xxxxxxx"
  2048-bit RSA key, ID xxxxxxx, created xxxxxxx (main key ID xxxxxxxxxxx)

  gpg: problem with the agent - disabling agent use
  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

  With
  pinentry-program /usr/bin/pinentry-gtk-2
  in
  ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf
  pinentry pops up as expected with the same commands used as above.
