I don't remember the exact commands I used when preparing for last
ELC-E, but some Googling suggests:

    sudo apt install pinentry-tty
    sudo update-alternatives --config pinentry

At least I do have
/etc/alternatives/pinentry -> /usr/bin/pinentry-curses

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
