Hello, I picked my old mbp with intel CPU to try zerobrew, and found the gpgconf in GnuPG x86_64 build with hardcoded path:

bash

strings `which gpgconf` | rg -i cellar
/usr/local/Cellar/gnupg/2.4.9/bin
/usr/local/Cellar/gnupg/2.4.9/libexec
/usr/local/Cellar/gnupg/2.4.9/lib/gnupg
/usr/local/Cellar/gnupg/2.4.9/share/gnupg
/usr/local/Cellar/gnupg/2.4.9/share/locale

and failed to start

bash

gpgconf --launch gpg-agent
gpgconf: error running '/usr/local/Cellar/gnupg/2.4.9/bin/gpg-agent': probably not installed
gpgconf: Configuration file of component GPG Agent is broken
gpgconf: Note: Use the command "gpg-agent --gpgconf-test" to get details.

it there any way to fix this?
