Hi, I have the same problem; I upgraded from ubuntu 16.04 to 18.04 (one LTS release to the next). To my astonishment afterwards I couldn't get into my bank accounts anymore because I can't decrypt my files!
The output of the original conversion is: >gpg --decrypt digid.nl.gpg gpg: starting migration from earlier GnuPG versions gpg: porting secret keys from '/home/carlo/.gnupg/secring.gpg' to gpg-agent gpg: key 29BD5E6C7C8DEF37: secret key imported gpg: key 3232F9CFE80A9EC5: secret key imported gpg: key 027353B08370CB05: secret key imported gpg: migration succeeded gpg: encrypted with RSA key, ID 6FD2C61D624ACAD5 gpg: decryption failed: No secret key After that I tried running: >gpg --import < /home/carlo/.gnupg/secring.gpg gpg: key 29BD5E6C7C8DEF37: "TXXXXX3" not changed gpg: key 29BD5E6C7C8DEF37: secret key imported gpg: key 3232F9CFE80A9EC5: "axxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx...@gmail.com>" not changed gpg: key 3232F9CFE80A9EC5: secret key imported gpg: key 027353B08370CB05: "Carlo (XXXXXX) <ca...@alinoe.com>" not changed gpg: key 027353B08370CB05: secret key imported gpg: Total number processed: 5 gpg: skipped PGP-2 keys: 2 gpg: unchanged: 3 gpg: secret keys read: 3 gpg: secret keys unchanged: 3 Note the 'skipped PGP-2 keys: 2' ?! What, why? How do I get those back?! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1565963 Title: gpg secret keys not migrated after upgrade to gnupg 2.1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnupg2/+bug/1565963/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
