Problem installing GPG_Suite-2213n

After upgrading my mac to 10.13.5 the GPG Suite hangs. It just shows "Loading GPG Suite" in the top of the System Preference window.

I tried to uninstall GPG Tools and install the latest nightly (GPG_Suite-2213n) but the installer hangs, see attached screenshot.

I include a list of running processes after the installer hangs. I see that one of them are calling gpg2 without full path. I have gpg2 installed through MacPorts since it is a dependency for pass from MacPorts.

Any ideas?

$ which gpg2
/opt/local/bin/gpg2
$ ps auxww | grep gpg

    Hi Kaj,

    please kill any gpg processes. Temporarily move the Macports gpg and try the installation again.

    It seems like a variety of gpg processes are blocking each other, due to gpg‘s locking mechanism.

    Hope that helps.
