It's a gpg feature. It locks your keyrings while messing around with
them but it does not release the locks if it gets killed.

Simply remove the lock files in ~/.gnupg.

(also see bug #59617 and #58260 (merged))

I think Shorty (@d.o) has talked with upstream about the
issue. Removing stale locks (and ensuring they are really stale)
should not be that difficult and I think it is beeing worked on.
