Try the following: a) Terminate all running background processes/daemons of gpg gpgconf --kill all b) Remove the migration indicator file rm ~/.gnupg/.gpg-v21-migrated c) List the public keys gpg -k If this doesn't fix the problem, then do the migration manually by importing the old public keyring and the old secret keyring: gpg --import ~/.gnupg/pubring.gpg gpg --import ~/.gnupg/secring.gpg Regards, Ingo
