I can't replicate this issue on my system.  With a new user I created
for the test, I had no problem; The directory ~/.gnupg is created,
~/.gnupg/public-keys.d is created, and ~/.gnupg/public-keys.d/pubring.db
is created.  Note that keyboxd just works with systemd by socket
activation.

Keyboxd is enabled, but only with 2.4.

I wonder if this is a transition problem after the installation of
GnuPG.

When you see the failure, what is the output of the following command?

	$ systemctl --user status keyboxd

(I mean, how keyboxd complained.)
--
