emeriste, please do a 'ls -l ~/.gnupg/*.gpg'. This will will list (among other things) which user and group owns the files.

There should be 3 files, pubring.gpg, secring.gpg, and trustdb.gpg. These 3 files -- in fact, *all* under ~/.gnupg -- should be owned by your userid, your group, not by root, or any other user.

Please comment on what you find.

Thanks.
