[Bug 1565963] Re: seahorse does not see gpg keys after upgrade to gnupg 2.1

[Jamie Strandboge]

Removing the evolution and seahorse tasks.

** Description changed:

  After upgrading to gnupg 2.1 I can no longer see my keys in seahorse
  (Passwords and Keys in apps scope in unity) and evolution cannot find my
  gpg keys. Someone said this might be related to
  https://www.gnupg.org/faq/whats-new-in-2.1.html#autostart and
  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=796931
  
- I'm not sure where the bug lies or what is the proper fix, so adding
- several tasks. Please feel free to adjust as necessary.
+ Reading the Debian bug I see someone mentioned that running this might help:
+ $ gpg2 --import < ./.gnupg/secring.gpg
+ 
+ I did that and gpg2 went through each of my private keys to import them.
+ When done I logged out and back in and seahorse saw my keys. I'm not
+ sure why gpg2 didn't prompt me before.
  
  Downgrading to gnupg2 2.0.28 from xenial fixes the issue.

** No longer affects: evolution (Ubuntu)

** No longer affects: seahorse (Ubuntu)

** Summary changed:

- seahorse does not see gpg keys after upgrade to gnupg 2.1
+ gpg secret keys not migrated after upgrade to gnupg 2.1
