how are you invoking gpg?
if you invoke it with no arguments, it expects to be in a pipeline with
some sort of guess at what it is supposed to do. this is not an
advisable mode to operate any tool, especially a security-sensitive
one. give it an explicit command instead!
If i launch gpg 2.1.20 with no arguments, i get:
0 dkg@alice:~$ gpg
gpg: WARNING: no command supplied. Trying to guess what you mean ...
gpg: Go ahead and type your message ...
so i'm unable to reproduce the problem you describe.

gpg1 1.4.21 shows me this when invoked with no arguments:
0 dkg@alice:~$ gpg1
gpg: Go ahead and type your message ...
Can you provide more details please?
