[arch-general] gnupg failing strangely

The last few days I've noticed issues with GnuPG.

I'm using `gpg-agent` as my `ssh-agent` and that's were I noticed
strangeness first. I can't add keys:

~~~
$ ssh-add /home/lmagnus/.ssh/id_ecdsa_github
Enter passphrase for /home/lmagnus/.ssh/id_ecdsa_github:
Could not add identity "/home/lmagnus/.ssh/id_ecdsa_github": agent refused operation
~~~

and now I found that I can't encrypt files:

~~~
$ gpg -c TODO
gpg: cancelled by user
gpg: error creating passphrase: Operation cancelled
gpg: symmetric encryption of 'TODO' failed: Operation cancelled
~~~

Anyone else seeing similar behaviour?

I'm seeing this behaviour on both the latest package, 2.1.16, and the
previous, 2.1.15 (both -1 and -2). I've not dared go back further than
that since 2.14 complains "libreadline.so.6: cannot open shared object
file".
