While running `make test` on the git source tree I keep getting asked:

  Set preference list to:
    Cipher: ...
    Digest: ...
    etc...

Is there any way to turn that prompt off so that `make test` completes without 
any keyboard input?

Can you tell us which test is running when you see that?  I suspect it
might be one of the tests using GnuPG; if so, can you tell us what GnuPG
version you're running?

Also, just for completeness, which version are you trying to run the
tests on, and is it from the repo or a tarball?
