Actions in kleopatra result in general error

I have setup a fresh kubuntu 16.10 installation from cd. I have a seperate home volume (physically and logically) which is mounted at start.

After installing kleopatra I am not able to do anything that is related to keys. Everything results in Error: General Error. Digging into the KWatchGnuPG showed the following:

gpg-agent[1770]: DBG: chan_7 -> ERR 67109139 Unknown IPC Command <GPG Agent>

I did some research already in the internet, but nothing currently helps.

Thanks for your help, school_guy

P.S.: Here is the full action log of trying to set the trust in kleopatro to "My own certificate"

My problem is resolved after using Kubuntu 16.04.2 LTS. I was not able to solve this issue under Kubuntu 16.10 and 17.10. But now everything works like a charm.

UPDATE: 06.12.17 Now it is working also under Kubuntu 16.10 and 17.10. Just a new fresh install worked. Upgrading the LTS failed (in relation to Kleopatra).
