Well, I see gnupg in the list, I am not sure whether it is gnupg2 or not.
gpg is hard to set up. Even after it is set up to do what you
want, your correspondent must also have a working gpg/PGP system,
else you will not be able to communicate using gpg as your
encrypt/decrypt system. The Free Software Forces have, so far,
failed to produce an email crypto system which one billion people
could use. We have a good central armature for such a system,
namely gpg, but the stuff around gpg is in practice very
difficult to use.
What do you want to with GnuPG?

Good day, I have just received my first Linux system (Ubuntu 14.04)
It has Seahorse installed, but I don't see any GnuPG application. How
can I determine if there is a GnuPG installed, and if so where to find it.
Searching the Dash for GnuPG reveals nothing, and there doesn't appear
to be any program in the Ubuntu Software Center
Cheers ~Rob
I use Debian. On my system, if I open a terminal, and then, whether I am root
or no, give the command:
apt-cache search gnupg
apt returns a long list of packages. Here are the last few:
pinentry-tty - minimal dumb-terminal PIN or pass-phrase entry for GnuPG
python-gnupg - Python wrapper for the GNU Privacy Guard (Python 2.x)
python3-gnupg - Python wrapper for the GNU Privacy Guard (Python 3.x)
libqca2-plugin-gnupg - transitional package for libqca2-plugins signing-party -
Various OpenPGP related tools gnupg-doc - GNU Privacy Guard documentation
gnupg-agent - GNU privacy guard - cryptographic agent
gnupg2 - GNU privacy guard - a free PGP replacement (new v2.x) gnupg2-dbg -
debugging symbols for gnupg2 gpgsm - GNU privacy guard - S/MIME version
scdaemon - GNU privacy guard - smart card support
On Debian, if you are connected to the Net, and if you do, as root;
apt-get update
and then
apt-get install gnupg-doc gnupg-agent gnupg2
apt should install the above three packages.
Likely Ubuntu has a "GUI" wrapper or an equivalent for apt. I'd have guessed that the
"Ubuntu Software Center" would be it, and that the USC would show you gnupg easily.
oo--JS.
