Ok - this was already selected by default when I looked (and the English version is : Settings > Preferences > Distribution > "Always prefer the highest version" ) But I just found the latest version of gnupg available in Debian experimental by highlighting the gnupg2 package in Synaptic Manager and then selecting 'properties > Versions tab' It is not shown in the main window but only in the properties dialog box.

I hadn't noticed that there were two different removal options in Synaptic Package Manager : removal and complete removal. In fact when I removed 2.0.22, I did so using ubuntu's 'Software Centre' using its removal button. It looks like the Software Centre only does a little bit of removal. How strange, it's like the old story of being only a little bit pregnant. Best, Philip
