Thanks - I've used the gpg.conf-2 solution for a temporary fix and gpg2 seems to
work so far and enigmail has picked it up and works with it ok.

When I get a little more time, I'll track down the source code for libbz2-dev
and build it in my gnupg-2.0.26 installation.

My linux distribution already has libbz2-1.0 but it will be elsewhere in the
file structure and I haven't yet found out how to make use of it for my
installation of 2.0.26.

For the moment, I'm more than happy that my first experience of compiling from
source code has worked.
