I want to verify a tarball using gnupg:

docb@X1E:~/buildservice/Application:ERP:GNUHealth:Factory/mygnuhealth> gpg
--default-key mygnuhealth.keyring --verify  mygnuhealth-2.2.0.tar.gz.sig 
can't connect to 'socket:///home/docb/.gnupg/log-socket': No such file or
directory

The error message does not change if I create this file, I can work around it
with the option --log-file=~/gnupg.log (even if it does not create a log, but
thats probably a different story.

I found https://forum.gnupg.org/t/problem-with-socket-connection-refused/4669
dealing with this problem, however it does not offer a solution
