Hi Thorsten,

Thank you for your report.

> Any ideas?

Yes. You can see the current behavior here: [1]. MacGPG1 follows the
same approach as MacGPG2 and installs itself to /usr/local/MacGPG1 and
only sets a link to the executable if there is no binary at
/usr/local/bin/gpg. Afaik there were a lot of discussions with
Benjamin (author of MacGPG2) about the installation process of MacGPG2
and whether to force such a link and where to install the binaries to.

As a summary: if there are old gpg1 binaries that were installed
manually or by using fink/ports/brew, then MacGPG1 will not overwrite
or remove them. In this context see
http://www.gpgtools.org/faq.html#2.3 and
http://www.gpgtools.org/faq.html#2.1

Best regards, Alex
