<font size="+1">I have tried diligently, without success, to install
pass. There is obviously an interaction with GIT/GPG which I do
not fathom.<br>
<br>
I created a fresh working directory (pw), moved the contents of
the pass tarball into that directory. My home directory contains
a .gitconfig file which contains<br>
<blockquote type="cite">[user]<br>
name = donald<br>
email = <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:d.menken@sbcglobal.net">d.menken@sbcglobal.net</a><br>
[gui]<br>
recentrepo = /home/donald/perl-dev/TAXcalc</blockquote>
<br>
I then executed a pass init followed by an attempt to add a
password to a presumably empty file:<br>
<br>
<blockquote type="cite">bash-4.1$ cd pw<br>
bash-4.1$ ll<br>
total 4<br>
drwx------. 5 donald donald 4096 Dec 5 10:24
password-store-1.4.2<br>
bash-4.1$ pass init "$a432 Password Storage Key" <br>
Password store initialized for Password Storage Key.<br>
[master be4c46a] Set GPG id to Password Storage Key.<br>
1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-)<br>
bash-4.1$ ll<br>

password-store-1.4.2<br>
bash-4.1$ pass insert web/amazon.com<br>
Enter password for web/amazon.com: <br>
Retype password for web/amazon.com: <br>
gpg: Password Storage Key: skipped: No public key<br>
gpg: [stdin]: encryption failed: No public key<br>
fatal: pathspec 'web/amazon.com.gpg' did not match any files<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
I can, of course, "clean up" all of the miscellaneous files
created so far and start from scratch (one more time) but I
confess that I have exhausted all of my ideas of how to "do it
right". Helpful suggestions -- assuming total ignorance on my
part -- would be welcomed.<br>
