GnuPG2 unusable without 'pinentry' package (unavailable)
GnuPG was a must have in my N900. In Sailfish/Mer repositories, it is replaced by GnuPG2. No problem about that, but:
-GnuPG2 depends on GnuPG-Agent.
-GnuPG-Agent depends on pinentry-ncurses or a graphical pinentry (pinentry-gtk2 or pinentry-qt4). No pinentry, no password input.
And there's no pinentry available in repositories. So, I can't generate keys (needs password input). If I just import other keys, I can encrypt data; but no decrypt is possible (again, needs password input!).
So, in order to encrypt sensible data (passwords!), a pinentry package is needed. Thanks.

Update: Pinentry RPM packages already available. See Objectifnull and Nieldk answers.
