[Bug 1565963] Re: gpg secret keys not migrated after upgrade to gnupg 2.1

[Mario Limonciello]

Since you mentioned this came from another box, can you show the
permissions for the files in .gnupg?  That seems the most likely reason
for being unable to pull the files out.

Title:
  gpg secret keys not migrated after upgrade to gnupg 2.1

Status in gnupg2 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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

  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.
