@joshrabinowitz I remember that something like that had already happened.

This sounds a lot like #97 and/or #503.
Might this be related to some sort of pinentry issue?

I suddenly got hit with this problem as well. So I closed the terminal and opened up a new one, and the problem was gone.

I seem to remember this could happen if one changed from root to another user using sudo and THEN interacted with gnupg. Can anyone confirm/deny?
