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

[Fergus Whyte]

Thanks dkg, I had this issue also and setting u+x private-keys-v1.d
fixed it for me as well. As far as I know I never changed the
permissions in the .gnupg directory but you never know, could have been
years ago.

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.
