Closing as I believe this is a downstream bug.

Reopening as gpg’s handling of the situation is very much suboptimal.

Please provide a test case.

I will try, but it will likely be a while. In any case I believe you will need a Red Hat-family distro to trigger the bug; it happens when gpg trys to encrypt with a key that uses a public key algorithm libgcrypt does not support.

Please report such bugs to RedHat - they use a modified Libgcrypt and thus it's there bug.
