You are in fact correct, with the caveat I am using XFCE and had the
XFCE startup option (Start GNOME Services) enabled which automatically
runs gnome-keyring with all options (including gpg agent) and there
doesn't seem to be a way to deselect that unless you turn off that
option and only select the gnome-keyring services you specifically want
(in my case gnome-keyring, for network-manager).

Perhaps the error message could be improved to suggest such an
issue/solution so that users know where to look.

Especially given the error message that is thrown it didn't occur to me
that it was not a bug or other packaging error (since the error claims
it is).

Regards,

Daniel
