I don't have access to that platform, but there are two easy things you
can do to help us locate the problem:

1) open any .gpg file directly. Does that fail with the same message?

2) set auth-sources to ~/.authinfo and put some lines in that file. Does
that work?

If (1) fails and (2) works, the problem is in EPA/EPG or its
configuration, and not auth-source. You can use (2) as a workaround
until this issue is resolved.

Thanks
Ted
