I hadn't. I just did, and it gave me the same result as before.

I'm not entirely unfamiliar with the crypto behind the updates, so I realized some time ago that my clock might affect my ability to authenticate. And indeed when I started this process my clock was fairly far off. But I corrected that some time ago. I just checked my time against the US Naval Observatory time and found it to be within 1 s of correct time (probably closer).

So that's not it, either.

Please let us know when you find a solution.
I'll be sure to post here if I find anything out, because I think there are others with the same problem. Thanks for your time.

Ah! I found it.

The problem wasn't gpg after all, but libreadline6. Updating it didn't help, but building it manually (md5: a3a5bf025a1b8df869f45f34098ffc6a rather than 2569b5ed629a3e573b0a8f9ec23a37ff) and copying my version to /usr/local/lib/libreadline.so.6 worked!
