I tried copying the .gnupg There is no difference in the architecture between 2.2.27 and 2.2.40. However, Debian has a lot of intrusive patches on top of GnuPG and thus you can't compare a stock GnuPG with what Debian delivers. If you copy ~/.gnupg make sure to copy also subdirectories and hidden files (cp -a). You also need to stop any running agent but gpg will show you a warning if you forget this. > I chrooted into the old system and tried to export the keys, but it just > keeps commplaining: error receiving key from agent, permission denied. That are the private keys which you might have not copied (~/.gnupg/private-keys-v1.d) > Is there a way to get it to stop using this dang agent stuff and just > prompt me for the password normally like it used to? No. We use the agent for more than 20 years and you used it with 2.2.27 too. Shalom-Salam, Werner -- The pioneers of a warless world are the youth that refuse military service. - A. Einstein
