hkt in the hopenpgp-tools package tries to open ~/.gnupg/pubring.gpg.

See, for example, line 162 of hkt.hs.

GnuPG version 2.1 and up store keys in ~/.gnupg/pubring.kbx in the keybox format.

For that reason, when a user runs hkt export-pubkeys they will be presented with the following message:

hkt: /home/user/.gnupg/pubring.gpg: openBinaryFile: does not exist (No such file or directory)

For what it's worth, the issue is recognized by the package maintainer:

… hOpenPGP has no concept of keybox format, at least for now.
