Public bug reported: As of Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Seahorse uses gpg2 instead of gpg.
This is very confusing to users who wonder why their gpg keys do not show up in the "Passwords and Keys" app. I don't how to fix that easily for those upgrading (except we ought to at least add a Release Note about it). But for new installs, it would be very useful for Ubuntu to not ship both gnupg and gnupg2. http://releases.ubuntu.com/16.04/ubuntu-16.04-desktop-amd64.manifest It's also confusing that gpg and gpg2 have 2 separate user keyrings so changes to one keyring are not reflected in the other. Note: Ubuntu developers need to be aware of bug 1450287 where dput(-ng) hard-codes gpg(v1).
