Have you recreated the key stubs on the new system after having imported your public key first? And before, still on 14.04, did you use the --export-secret-keys command? Which were the steps you have taken for "migrating" keys to the new installation? And, by the way, does the screen output in your previous mail really show that a subkey with the same ID as the pubkey (so, a duplicate of the pubkey) is being used for decrypting a file encrypted to your pubkey? I mean, that wouldn't make sense in terms of public key cryptography and is duly canceled by gpg. Am I missing something?
