Description

When using "keybase push" command working w/o problem but when using "keybase encrypt -m "Hi this i..." user" i get error:

warn: pinentry-curses: no LC_CTYPE known - assuming UTF-8
warn: pinentry-curses: Assuan processing failed: write error
warn: gpg-agent[8317]: command get_passphrase failed: Linia przekazana do IPC zbyt długa

,but also checked with no full console mode with pinentry-qt and with that works w/o problems...

Research direction

Reproduce `keybase encrypt -m` on Arch Linux with pinentry-curses and compare it with the reported working pinentry-qt setup. Start from the displayed pinentry-curses and gpg-agent warnings; done means identifying the cause and confirming a resolution for the encryption command.
