--- Comment #8 from Petr Uzel
this requires is wrong, sorry. This makes pinentry require a x11 toolkit even if it can easily work with -curses in a minimal system. I did not realize this, sorry.
So please leave out the require and rather fix the pinentry script to check if it has a terminal and use -curses even if $DISPLAY is set. Unfortunately, it is not trivial to determine whether pinentry-curses can be safely used. The problem is that pinentry is not called directly by gpg/whatever, but instead everything goes through gpg-agent. This, by default, calls pinenty either with --display (X running), or without any options (no X running). I need to find out how to tell if it can use tty.
