Given that: * this happens for the *second* updated key
* having another process running at the same time, rapidly moving away any new pubring.gpg~ files avoids the error
* it is presumably Cygwin-specific
it seems extremely likely that gnupg has a file descriptor leak, such that when the second key is processed, gnupg still has an open file descriptor on the file pubring.gpg~ when it attempts to overwrite it by renaming another file onto that name. Windows then objects.
GPG for some reason tries to cache opened fds for re-use. I suggest disabling this caching for Cygwin. The appropriate code to tweak is in util/iobuf.c:fd_cache_close(). I changed the condition of the first if statement there to always be true, and the problem I reported goes away.
Please integrate this into the Cygwin packages.
Thanks for tracking this down Max. It's also time for a new package with the newer upstream version.
Did you get gpg-agent working? My private gnupg-1.9.20-1 fails. Others reported that also.
