[Bug 1862430] Re: gpg in focal doesn't find my private keys

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

Make a backup of .gnupg with like rsync!

Then:

gpg --import ~/.gnupg/secring.gpg

should fix this for you

Also you want to migrate the rest of the stuff to the new storage
format, i.e.:

cd ~/.gnupg
gpg --export-ownertrust >otrust.lst
mv pubring.gpg publickeys
gpg --import-options import-local-sigs --import publickeys
gpg --import-ownertrust otrust.lst
mv pubkeys pubring.gpg

Or remove pubring.gpg if you will no longer use gnupg1.

Test that everything works as you expect, and remove the backup you did
in the beginning.

Title:
  gpg in focal doesn't find my private keys

Status in gnupg2 package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I recently upgraded to focal, and gpg can no longer find my secret
  keys:

  ~$ gpg --list-secret-keys
  ~$

  attached is the output of 'strace -e openat,access' for the above
  command, which I found puzzling and might be a clue if one is needed.

  Please do reach out if you need more info.

  Thank you.
