I am using Debian 8 on all platforms and sadly have gpg (1.4.18-7+deb8u3) and gpg2 (2.0.26-6+deb8u1). I am using both (gpg for mutt and gpg2 for Icedove/Thunderbird), because gpg2 relies on pinentry which completely breaks one of my workflows. I use gpg2 for key management though. > One thing I found that did help somewhat was to export my public > keyring, delete it, and then reimport the dump.

I also suspect old/"broken"/unusable keys. Best, René. -- )\._.,--....,'``. fL Let GNU/Linux work for you while you take a nap. /, _.. \ _\ (`._ ,. R.
