Well, that does surprise me. I can understand why you'd prefer an
Enigmail wizard to guide you through the upgrade.
It's not necessary. Debian (and by extension Ubuntu) package Enigmail;
thus, if you install a new version of Enigmail through the Debian (or
Ubuntu) package installation mechanism, it will automagically install
GnuPG 2 for you as a necessary dependency.
Not all Debian/Ubuntu users install Enigmail as a package, now that it
no longer contains machine-dependent code.
Or, you could just open a terminal window and type:
sudo apt-get install gnupg2
That will work to get it installed, yes. And now that gnupg can use the
socket method for gpg-agent on Unix it's a lot easier to set up than it
used to be. Users who want to take advantage of the gpg-agent for ssh
purposes still face a pretty steep learning curve, however.
