Yes, this is related. I hadn't spotted it because I have both gpg and
gpg1 installed on my workstation.

If gpg isn't present, then I can reproduce this. The issue is with how
GnuPG::Interface checks for the version of the gpg binary that is being
run.

A minor change to RT::Crypt::GnuPG in RT fixes this. I've written the
patch to resolve this bug, pushed it to Salsa and raised a bug with
Best Practical:   
https://rt.bestpractical.com/SelfService/Display.html?id=36623

I also find it a little puzzling though, I've checked the source in
unstable and the patch name is test_gnupg-interface_gpg1.diff but the
name of the patch used in the build log is test_gnupg-
interface_gnupg.diff . This isn't in git, bullseye or unstable. 

Cheers,
Andrew
