The fact that the test can pass even when epg-check-configuration fails
probably indicates that is the wrong thing to test anyway. The cause on
hydra is probably that HOME does not exist, which causes gpg
--list-config to fail:

  HOME=/tmp/foo/bar  gpg --with-colons --list-config
  gpg: fatal: can't create directory `/tmp/foo/bar/.gnupg': No such file or directory

Perhaps tests should bind epg-gpg-home-directory to a suitable value.
