You have a lock file left over from a previous run of gpg.  It is
preventing gpg from accessing the trust database, because it thinks
that the previous run is still going.

Make sure you don't have any gpg processes running, and remove the
stale lock file.  In most cases that would be in the .gnupg directory
in your home directory: "rm ~/.gnupg/trustdb.gpg.lock"
