I'm running f33beta, bu I have also seen these, they're owned by the

PackageKit doesn't use gpg itself, but it's highly likely libdnf is
doing something with GPG which PK does use.

Unfortunately gpg2 has been turned into a "desktop" tool and there is no sane way
to run it in batch jobs. It will spawn a background gpg-agent that will silently
learn, keep and use (!) your passphrase. After struggling a lot with options and
ENV variables the only solution for my use case was "dnf install gnupg1" and
using gpg1.

Maybe PackageKit is triggering things without realizing or being forced to do
strange things to achieve its objectives.

Best regards.
