Unable to show password on OSX #209
Description
Hi, thanks a lot for this amazing tool.
I am trying to use it on my mac and I get the following error while trying to show a password
$ GOPASS_DEBUG=true gopass show ale
[DEBUG] Loaded config from /Users/aarnodo/.config/gopass/config.yml: &{AlwaysTrust:true AskForMore:false AutoImport:true AutoPull:true AutoPush:true ClipTimeout:45 Debug:false FsckFunc:<nil> ImportFunc:<nil> LoadKeys:true Mounts:map[] NoColor:false NoConfirm:false Path:/Users/aarnodo/.password-store PersistKeys:true SafeContent:false Version:}

Error: Failed to decrypt
I do not get the gpg prompt asking for password
if I run the command
/usr/local/bin/gpg2 --quiet --yes --compress-algo=none --no-encrypt-to --no-auto-check-trustdb --decrypt /Users/aarnodo/.password-store/ale.gpgI do get it correctly
if I try to show the password using pass, after I've insert the master password in the prompt, I am able to see it.
If I now try tu use gopass, I am also to see the password as well. I guess because the gpg master password is cached, and gopass does not try anymore to display the prompt

I guess it's a duplicate of #208

FYI, I think this is due to the Homebrew formula updating GPG. The tell-tale sign for me was
Run
brew doctorand see if gnupg is listed as unlinked. This was true for me.Now that gpg2 is properly symlink, gopass should be able to reach it. My errors stopped.
