Hi, thanks for the response. As far as I can tell, I don't have any pinentry configuration stuff explicity specified with in my guix home config or in my system config. I think, during the last few years before this suddenly broke, that pinentry-gnome3 would pop up whenever I first tried to access the "pass" utility.

I'll try adding that service, with pinentry-gnome3 or maybe pinentry-emacs.
