gpg: can’t connect to the agent: IPC connect call failed

Even I had the above issue in Ubuntu 20 WSL, I tried all the below | above suggestions, but none worked for me.

root@7400-9888K13:/mnt/c/Users/PKammari# wget -q -O - https://packages.cloudfoundry.org/debian/cli.cloudfoundry.org.key | sudo apt-key add -
gpg: can't connect to the agent: IPC connect call failed

What did I do to resolve the issue?

  • remove gpg
  • install other version of gpg.

How do I do it?
apt remove gpg ( follow the instructions)
apt install gnupg1 (follow the instructions)

Option 2.
sudo apt update --y

`sudo apt remove gpg`

`sudo apt-get update -y`

`sudo apt-get install -y gnupg1`
