Commands used to produce errors:

gpg --card-status
gpg --disable-ccid

The gpg.conf stripped of comments:

keyserver hkp://subkeys.pgp.net

hidden-encrypt-to 0x12277FBC!
hidden-encrypt-to 0xCC28B36C!

default-recipient 0x12277FBC!

As shown above, this wasn't the case.

I've since compared the install script used (system
and gnupg), and could not find error.  I'm in the
process of a manual install, to see if I can identify
where I may have gone wrong.

When I first successfully installed gnupg, pcsc-lite,
and the ozscrlx driver, it was from a base install.  I
still suspect the script may have an error, but cannot
yet identify it.  So I'm trying to recreate the first
successful attempt, and then will try to identify the
source of the error. I do not think any of the
applications are at fault, just seeing if anyone has
any clue where to look, as it isn't plain to me.

Best regards.
