looks ok, but somehow pgp.c:pgp_available() fails.

it can't read neither 
	${GNUPGHOME:-"${PGPPATH:-"$HOME"}"}/.gnupg/pubring.kbx
nor
	${GNUPGHOME:-"${PGPPATH:-"$HOME"}"}/.gnupg/pubring.gpg
(tired in that order).

as your quoted error messages says:
"... can't open /home/user/.gnupg/pubring.gpg"
                     ^^^^^
which looks a bit uncommon (username = "user"?) I guess you have
set $GNUPGHOME (or $PGPPATH) to "/home/user/" but it should be left
blank (if the pubring is below ~/.gnupg/ and your username is not "user").
