Hi Daniel : I sent another mail - this is NOT a problem with the nightly build. It is my installation.

It came with gnupg 1.4.16-1ubuntu-2 and the gnupg website said that gnupg2 could co-exist without problem with gnupg so I installed gupg2 as well. I have gnupg-agent 2.0.22-3ubuntu1 installed. From the date, it looks like this was installed as part of the gnupg2 package and it contains 4 programs including gpg-agent. I also installed Kleopatra (because I like it) and GPA (because I couldn't get my keyrings imported with Kleo). In fact I had to turn to Enigmail's key-manager to get the public and private keyrings installed. Enigmail did it with no problem. > did you transfer your ownertrust database as well? (see the > --export-ownertrust and --import-ownertrust actions for gpg) As soon as the keyrings were imported, I noticed that there were no trusted keys so I slid the trust database over as well. Now enigmail, Kleo and GPA display all my keys and trust levels as well as I had in Windows. pubring.gpg, secring.gpg, trustdb.gpg are all present in the ~/.gnupg directory > > have you tried to use gpg from the terminal to sign a test message? if > so, are there any error messages there? I'm new to linux and not a great fan of command line (yet) but the following occurs : me@me-desktop:~$ gpg --sign test-message You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for user: "Philip Jackson <[email protected]>" 2048-bit RSA key, ID 23543A63, created 2013-01-22 (here I entered the passphrase) gpg: problem with the agent - disabling agent use gpg: can't open `test-message': No such file or directory gpg: signing failed: file open error I tried a couple of times - same both times. command gpg-agent shows "gpg-agent: gpg-agent running and available" Lots I don't understand here - all help welcomed.
