It should be replaced by the MacGPG package probably.
There are a few misinterpretations in what you write. The fact that pEp doesn't find gpg is not an error of pEpAdapter.jsm, but - if at all - of the pepmda (the pep binary). pEpAdapter.jsm does not tell pEp where to find gpg, instead pEp tells Enigmail where it found gpg. There is no possibility in the pEp mode of Enigmail to specify where to find gpg. I.e. you cannot specify the path to gpg in the "regular" Enigmail mode, and then switch to the pEp mode and expect pEp to find gpg. The second misinterpretation is about the install location of GnuPG. Enigmail tries to install GpgOSX, (not MacGPG, nor gpgtools). GpgOSX is installed in /usr/local/gnupg-2.2, with symlinks to /usr/local/bin. These are similar locations as MacGPG would use. In any case, nothing is installed in /usr/bin. The relevant question is: why is gpg not found automatically by pEp if it's installed in /opt/local/bin? I see two possible answers: 1. /opt/local/bin is not in the PATH environment variable 2. the version installed in /opt/local/bin is not compatible with pEp. pEp requires gpg 2.0.30, or 2.1.17 and newer. I suspect that (1) is true. -Patrick
