What would be your opinion for using alternatives for the /usr/bin/gpg?
+1.
I created on my machine a symlink /usr/bin/gpg to gpg2 to solve these
kind of issues.
The problem is that now the keystores are incompatible and it creates
big confusion to the users when they see some key in gnupg-1 and do not
see it in gnupg-2 and the other way around.
