Nothing obviously missing there, as far as I can tell.

The passphrase input is handled by gnupg-agent, so that's what appears 
to be failing. It uses a 'pinentry' tool. On my system it usually pops 
up a small graphical window, but its dependency list suggests it can 
also use something terminal based if that isn't installed. There must be 
something wrong with that combination. I *think* it may be related to 
the second item mentioned here:

https://www.gnupg.org/documentation/manuals/gnupg-devel/Common-Problems.html

Do you have the GPG_TTY variable set up? I have mine in ~/.bashrc like this:

export GPG_TTY=$(tty)

Regards.
