I think this solved it:
1. Installed MinGW version: pacman -S mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-gnupg
2. Started emacs -Q in the MingGW64 terminal (not the MSYS2 terminal)
3. package-list-packages completes without errors:
From the *Messages* buffer:
Importing package-keyring.gpg...done
Setting ‘package-selected-packages’ temporarily since "emacs -q" would
overwrite customizations
Package refresh done
Packages that can be upgraded: 2; type ‘U’ to mark for upgrading.
To me this implies that gnupg should be installed along with Emacs 27.1 in
MinGW64. I will try to contact the maintainer to suggest that.
Thank you very much for your help.
Mirko
