Well, this is above my paygrade then. I've had this problem on my mac when I've had stray pieces of gpg strewn all over /usr/local because I brew installed one too many instances of gpg. The solution in my case was to remove all traces of gpg, gpg-agent, etc. and then reinstall a consistent version and rebooting (maybe killall gpg-agent would work too).
Good luck.
