Generate new key failed!
Code = 0
Error text:
gpg: lookup_hashtable failed: Unknown system error
gpg: trustdb: searching trust record failed: Unknown system error
gpg: Error: The trustdb is corrupted.
gpg: You may try to re-create the trustdb using the commands:
gpg: cd ~/.gnupg
gpg: gpg --export-ownertrust > otrust.tmp
gpg: rm trustdb.gpg
gpg: gpg --import-ownertrust < otrust.tmp

Expected
Tried running these commands in Terminal. Command not recognized. Was something not installed?

Additional info
Uninstalled and reinstalled GPG Suite twice. Same result.

   Hi Donald,

   we are very sorry to hear that your are experiencing problems with GPG Suite. We have not yet heard of this problem before, but believe that running the commands to re-create the trustdb should in fact solve it.

   Following are the commands again to be run in Terminal:

       cd ~/.gnupg
       gpg --export-ownertrust > otrust.tmp
       rm trustdb.gpg
       gpg --import-ownertrust < otrust.tmp

   It‘s best if you copy and paste one command after the other.

   Hope that helps.

   Thanks, that did the trick. After running the terminal commands, GPG
   Keychain was populated with all the keys I had previously tried to generate.
