Raspbian Version: February 2020 Release date: 2020-02-13
fresh install, running on raspberry pi 3B
uname -a: Linux raspberrypi 4.19.97-v7+ #1294 SMP Thu Jan 30 13:15:58 GMT 2020 armv7l GNU/Linux

error in syslog:

Feb 16 10:27:39 raspberrypi systemd[2220]: gpgconf: fatal error (exit status 1)

search the forum for gpgconf and duckduckgo for various combinations of the error message, unfortunately, no results...

The error doesn't appear to have a negative effect on using the system (using it for pihole), but I like to keep the syslog clean...

Hi,
faced same issue, found solution after long time ....
Just do:

- cd /home
- sudo mkdir pihole
- sudo chown pihole:pihole pihole
- cd pihole
- sudo mkdir .gnupg
- sudo chown pihole:pihole .gnupg
- sudo chmod 700 .gnupg

.. and u r done, error removed from syslog.

BR,
Mike
