My machine runs with on a Ubuntu 14.04 LTS distribution. This comes with a 
default GnuPG 1.4.16 located mainly in /usr/bin as gpg. My competency in 
software engineering is limited. Following the indications in 
https://www.gnupg.org/download/index.html and common sense, I managed to 
install GnuPG 2.0.26 that, however, ended up in /usr/local/bin as pgp2. 
Therefore I now seem to have two GnuPG packages active on my computer. 
Admittedly my expectation was that the new version would have taken care of 
continuity from the old one.

[1] Are detailed how-to instructions on upgrading GnuPG that I missed? If so, 
could you please point me to them?[2] How do I actually upgrade GnuPG to the 
later version completely phasing out the old one?[3] After [2] is succesful, 
will a tool such Enigmail (but, in general, all applications counting on GnuPG) 
automatically recognise the latest version, seen that the new version is called 
gpg2 instead of gpg?
Thanks for helping me out!
