You don't need to worry greatly. Gnupg 1.4.16 and gnupg 2.0.26 can co-exist on the same machine with no problem. I am in exactly the same case with Ubuntu. I did the same as you and Enigmail immediately picked up the 2.0.26 gpg2 which it uses with no problems. I tend to use 1.4.16 from the command line. However, the next step is to to move to gnupg 2.1 and that cannot co-exist with 2.0 versions. Philip
