Hello,

I'm trying to use passpie on my debian testing and passpie init hangs after passphrase confirmation

$ python --version
Python 2.7.9
$ virtualenv passpie
$ source passpie/bin/activate
(passpie)$ pip install --upgrade https://github.com/marcwebbie/passpie/tarball/master
(passpie)$ which passpie
/home/jbd/tmp/passpie/bin/passpie

The program hangs after passphrase confirmation:

(passpie)$ passpie init
Passphrase: 
Repeat for confirmation:

Hello @jbd

It takes a while sometime to generate gpg keys because of entropy. It depends a lot on the system state:

Thank you for your answer. I was misusing rngd. Sorry for the useless issue.
