I ran hp-setup without sudo. It asked me to enter my login password most likely to get sudo rigths anyway. On subsequent restart my ~/.gnupg/pubring.gpg and also backup ~/.gnupg/pubring.gpg~ were owned by root. Chown to my user restored the functionality back.
I do not see any information added even though I reported this via ubuntu-bug.
