[Solved] GPG hangs when trying to access a key

When I try to access any GPG key (e.g. with gpg --edit-key) GPG hangs (without any output)
and does nothing. The only thing I can do is killing the process.

I am pretty sure that my .gnupg dir is ok, because it works on the same machine with
a different user just fine. I also had no problems when I last used gpg a few days ago.

Rebooting does not help.
Are there any other settings / config files that can interfere?

Hey there, welcome to the forums. You might wanna check the other threads open on GPG issues first. Sounds like your problem is the same as this one. Also you should get in the practice of sharing log files, for instance pacman upgrade logs, systemctl --status, journalctl, etc.

Thanks, removing the gpg-agent.service in my .config solved the problem. I somehow missed that forum thread.
