** The pinentry.el library has been removed.
That package (and the corresponding change in GnuPG and pinentry)
was intended to provide a way to input passphrase through Emacs with
GnuPG 2.0. However, the change to support that was only implemented
in GnuPG >= 2.1 and didn't get backported to GnuPG 2.0. And with
GnuPG 2.1 and later, pinentry.el is not needed at all. So the
library was useless, and we removed it. GnuPG 2.0 is no longer
supported by the upstream project.
To adapt to the change, you may need to set 'epa-pinentry-mode' to the
symbol 'loopback'.
