No installing in Mac OSX Monterey v12.1
Hi!
Developer that uses GPG as sign software for Git.
I had GPG Tools installed in OSX Monterey 12.0, today I installed the latest version, v12.1, after restarting the computer and login again I made some changes in my code and tried to commit:
git commit -S -m "foo"
Unfortunately this command just hanged, I killed it and start debugging the problem.
After running it with GIT_TRACE=true and got this command:
gpg --status-fd=2 -bsau DCA611273C3A07D0012294B42023B961E6A97F4B
I ran it and the output was:
gpg: waiting for lock (held by 292939)
This give me a hint that the gpg process was busy with something else, so I tried to open it from the System Preferences panel, it was my surprise when it didn't open at all.
So, I tried to download the latest version GPG_Suite-2021.3, but after going through the installation wizard it gets stuck in the "Running package scripts", just showing "Install time remaining: Less than a minute", been showing this message since 40 minutes ago.
I tried to quit the installation process but OSX says that it can because "The Installer is busy", so I ran the Uninstall wizard from the GPG Suite .dmg image, it runs successfully and also unblocks the installer, the installer now says that everything went just fine :D.
After that I restarted the computer and tried again to install it, finding myself in the exact same position with the same problem.
Not sure what else to try.
It is there a way to run it manually from the terminal?
Cheers!

After renaming
~/.gnupgto something else, the installer finished.Support Staff 2 Posted by Luke Le on 01 Jan, 2022 10:22 PM
Hi Fernando,
very glad to hear that you managed to figure this one out.
Should this happen again, it's not necessary to move the whole
~/.gnupgfolder, but instead it should suffice to remove any.lckfiles within the gnupg folder.Closing this discussion. Feel free to open a new one at any time should you have questions or run into problems.
