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

[Phillip Susi]

So I cloned the upstream git repo and built 2.0.31 and it works.  2.2.4
does not.  Anywhere in the 2.1 area in between seems to have some
protection turned out to tell you not to use production keys with a
development branch and it refuses to import *any* secret key.  Any idea
how to bypass this?

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
