That means it tries to take care that the entered information is not swapped to disk or temporarily stored anywhere. This functionality is particularly useful for entering pass phrases when using encryption software such as GnuPG or e-mail clients using the same. It uses an open protocol and is therefore not tied to particular software. . The program contained in this package implements a PIN entry dialog using the curses tool kit, meaning that it is useful for users working in text mode without the X Window System. There are sibling packages that implement PIN entry dialogs that use an X tool kit. If you install any of the graphical packages then this package is not necessary because the sibling packages automatically fall back to text mode if X is not active. Package: pinentry-tty Architecture: any Depends: ${misc:Depends}, ${shlibs:Depends}, Suggests: pinentry-doc, Provides: pinentry, Enhances: gnupg-agent, Description: minimal dumb-terminal PIN or pass-phrase entry for GnuPG This package contains a program that allows for secure entry of PINs or pass phrases. That means it tries to take care that the entered information is not swapped to disk or temporarily stored anywhere. This functionality is particularly useful for entering pass phrases when using encryption software such as GnuPG or e-mail clients using the same. It uses an open protocol and is therefore not tied to particular software. . The program contained in this package implements a PIN entry prompt that interacts directly with the controlling terminal. It has minimal dependencies, meaning that it is useful for users working with dumb terminals or similarly constrained environments. There are sibling packages that implement PIN entry dialogs that use curses for friendlier text-mode inputs on non-dumb terminals, and other sibling packages that provide PIN entry dialogs using an X tool kit. Package: pinentry-qt Architecture: any Depends: ${misc:Depends}, ${shlibs:Depends}, Suggests: pinentry-doc, Provides: pinentry, pinentry-x11, Enhances: gnupg-agent, Description: Qt-based PIN or pass-phrase entry dialog for GnuPG This package contains a program that allows for entry of PINs or pass phrases. It is useful for entering pass phrases when using encryption software such as GnuPG or e-mail clients using the same. It uses an open protocol and is therefore not tied to particular software. . The program contained in this package implements a PIN entry dialog using the Qt tool kit, so it is especially suitable for users of KDE. If the X Window System is not active then an alternative text-mode dialog will be used. There are sibling packages that implement PIN entry dialogs using other tool kits. Package: pinentry-qt4 Architecture: all Depends: pinentry-qt (>= ${binary:Version}), ${misc:Depends}, ${shlibs:Depends}, Description: Qt-based PIN or pass-phrase entry dialog for GnuPG (transitional dummy package) Pinentry is a program for secure entry of PINs and passphrases, from the GnuPG project. . This package installs a symbolic link from pinentry-qt4 to pinentry-qt. You should switch to using pinentry-qt instead. Package: pinentry-gtk2 Architecture: any Depends: ${misc:Depends}, ${shlibs:Depends}, Suggests: pinentry-doc, Provides: pinentry, pinentry-x11, Enhances: gnupg-agent, Description: GTK+-2-based PIN or pass-phrase entry dialog for GnuPG This package contains a program that allows for secure entry of PINs or pass phrases. That means it tries to take care that the entered information is not swapped to disk or temporarily stored anywhere. This functionality is particularly useful for entering pass phrases when using encryption software such as GnuPG or e-mail clients using the same. It uses an open protocol and is therefore not tied to particular software. . The program contained in this package implements a PIN entry dialog using the GTK+ tool kit version 2. If the X Window System is not active then an alternative text-mode dialog will be used. There are sibling packages that implement PIN entry dialogs using other tool kits. Package: pinentry-fltk Architecture: any Depends: ${misc:Depends}, ${shlibs:Depends}, Suggests: pinentry-doc, Provides: pinentry, pinentry-x11, Enhances: gnupg-agent, Description: FLTK-based PIN or pass-phrase entry dialog for GnuPG This package contains a program that allows for secure entry of PINs or pass phrases. That means it tries to take care that the entered information is not swapped to disk or temporarily stored anywhere. This functionality is particularly useful for entering pass phrases when using encryption software such as GnuPG or e-mail clients using the same. It uses an open protocol and is therefore not tied to particular software. . The program contained in this package implements a PIN entry dialog using the Fast Light Toolkit version 1.3. If the X Window System is not active then an alternative text-mode dialog will be used. There are sibling packages that implement PIN entry dialogs using other tool kits. Package: pinentry-gnome3 Architecture: any Depends: gcr, ${misc:Depends}, ${shlibs:Depends}, Suggests: pinentry-doc, Provides: pinentry, pinentry-x11, Recommends: dbus-user-session, Enhances: gnupg-agent, Description: GNOME 3 PIN or pass-phrase entry dialog for GnuPG This package contains a program that allows for secure entry of PINs or pass phrases. That means it tries to take care that the entered information is not swapped to disk or temporarily stored anywhere. This functionality is particularly useful for entering pass phrases when using encryption software such as GnuPG or e-mail clients using the same. It uses an open protocol and is therefore not tied to particular software. . The program contained in this package implements a PIN entry dialog designed for use with GNOME 3. It tries to follow the GNOME Human Interface Guidelines as much as possible. If the X Window System is not active then an alternative text-mode dialog will be used. There are sibling packages that implement PIN entry dialogs using other tool kits. Package: pinentry-doc Section: doc Architecture: all Depends: ${misc:Depends}, ${shlibs:Depends}, Suggests: pinentry-curses, pinentry-gnome3, pinentry-gtk2, pinentry-qt4, Description: documentation for pinentry packages This package contains the documentation for the pinentry packages, a suite of programs that allow secure entry of PINs or pass phrases. If you have one of the pinentry packages installed then you may want to install this package as well, but the documentation mostly concerns the internal protocol and is therefore not necessary for the casual user.
