[Bug 1862430] [NEW] gpg in eoan doesn't find my private keys

[John Lenton]

Public bug reported:

I recently upgraded to eoan, and gpg can no longer find my secret keys:

~$ gpg --list-secret-keys 
~$ 

attached is the output of 'strace -e openat,access' for the above
command, which I found puzzling and might be a clue if one is needed.

Please do reach out if you need more info.

Thank you.
