agagin run gpg --version , it shows:

gpg: Fatal: libgcrypt is too old (need 1.7.0, have 1.6.5)

and run apt-key update, it shows:

gpg: Fatal: libgcrypt is too old (need 1.7.0, have 1.6.5)

Try to reinstall libgcrypt

sudo apt-get install gnupg libgcrypt20 -o AllowUnauthenticated=true

comes out:

So all the problems come from the wrong version of libgcrypt, solution can be as following:

locate libgcrypt

then move all .so files to another place and run

sudo ldconfig /usr/bin/gpg

if run gpg --version , it goes wrong again, move the .so file back
then it must show:

gpg (GnuPG) 2.2.19
libgcrypt 1.8.5
