Description
I get the following error when I try to verify a newly encrypted file (or any file):
$ keybase pgp verify -i my_file.zip.asc
▶ ERROR Check engine error: PGPVerify: Check engine error: requires ui "PgpUI"
$ keybase pgp verify -i my_file.zip
▶ ERROR Check engine error: PGPVerify: Check engine error: requires ui "PgpUI"
I'm running on OS X 10.11.2:
$ keybase version
Client: 1.0.6-0
Service: 1.0.6-0

Research direction
Reproduce the failure with keybase pgp verify -i my_file.zip.asc and keybase pgp verify -i my_file.zip on OS X 10.11.2 using client and service version 1.0.6-0. Trace why verification requires the PgpUI interface; done means encrypted and unencrypted inputs verify without this error.
