Older versions of Evolution detected PGP 6.5.8 as PGP 2.6.x, so you're probably right - there was probably never a pgp 2.6.x on your system. > > However I checked to be sure some package did not sneak PGP 2.6.x in as > a dependency or whatever and my system remains clean with just a single > version of PGP 6.5.8i.

I have no idea why it didn't work for you, I was able to flip between pgp 2.6.x, pgp 5.x, pgp 6.5.8 and gpg and it never once failed to detected which version it really was. > > Grabbed the pgp keyrings moved them into gnupg which is loaded by > default on SuSE, some quick tweaking and Evo can again read encrypted > messages.

We just print everything that the pgp binary writes to stderr or whatever, we don't treat gpg more special than any other pgp program.
