*shrug* I don't know anything about keyboxd.

that's not what the code does. tin tries
	${GNUPGHOME:-"${PGPPATH:-"$HOME"}"}/.gnupg/pubring.kbx
first and if that is not readable (wrong permissions or not present)
	${GNUPGHOME:-"${PGPPATH:-"$HOME"}"}/.gnupg/pubring.gpg
and if that also fails an error message with the last filename tried is
issued.
