In case gnupg is part of the flatpack (I only known details of AppImage;
not of flatpack) you may want to consider to use patchelf along with a
gpgconf.ctl as we recently introduced in our speedo build system
(build-aux/speedo.mk).

okay.

The code should have shown more infos:

  TRACE_BEG  (DEBUG_CTX, "gpgme_ctx_set_engine_info", ctx,
	      "protocol=%i (%s), file_name=%s, home_dir=%s",
	      proto, gpgme_get_protocol_name (proto)
	      ? gpgme_get_protocol_name (proto) : "unknown",
	      file_name ? file_name : "(default)",
	      home_dir ? home_dir : "(default)");

So I wonder why you don't get that.  Maybe it is better to use
GPGME_DEBUG=9:/some/log/file to split the log from glib messages.

What version of GnuPG are you running.  Using strace -f to see what is
actually called is proabably helpful in case you can't convince gpgme to
show this.

Sure, we will try to help you.
