[Bug 1777710] Re: gpg throws out my secret keys after upgrade to 18.04

[Phillip Susi]

The permissions are probably world readable because as I said, I tried
deleting the whole directory and recreating it by hand, then copying the
secring over from the working system.  This was after deleting the whole
directory and letting gpg recreate it, then importing the keys exported
from a working system.  Whether by import or auto conversion to the new
format, gpg discards the private keys.  This may be because the primary
key is not included because I normally keep that offline.

Title:
  gpg throws out my secret keys after upgrade to 18.04

Status in gnupg2 package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I recently upgraded a server from 16.04 to 18.04 and gpg has started
  throwing out my secret keys.  I even tried deleting the .gnupg
  directory and re-importing or just copying the secring from another
  working system, and it still throws out the secret keys.

  Working system:

  C:\Users\psusi\AppData\Roaming\gnupg>gpg --version
  gpg (GnuPG) 2.0.28 (Gpg4win 2.2.5)
  C:\Users\psusi\AppData\Roaming\gnupg>gpg -K
  C:/Users/psusi/AppData/Roaming/gnupg/secring.gpg
