Hi, I though migrating my user GPG configuration onto a new computer should be as simple as making a full copy of ~/.gnupg with rsync
rsync -av old:/home/me/.gnupg /home/me/ However, on the new computer, I see nothing when I call gpg -k So I checked for differences gpg --version on the new computer prints gpg (GnuPG) 2.2.20 libgcrypt 1.8.7 Copyright (C) 2020 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
