Dear Listers, I solved my problem (see at the bottom). But first the SUM of the answers I got:
No answers, nor reactions oder hints :( The solution was: I had to delete the .gnupg-directory in my home directory. It seems like I copied old settings from Debian to Ubuntu taht caused the troubles. Cheers.
