It is kind of an emergency option in case we accidently remove an option

That feature is not documented in 2.1.18 but it seems to work. (I tried
"gpg.conf-2.1".)

The feature is not documented in 2.1.18. Is it documented in newer
versions?

No, the algorithm views the version as a string simply trims the
dot/dash delimted parts one after the other until it finds an _exact_
match.

It will use 1.4

Note that there is another compatibility feature which can be used to
ignore errors due to new options.  For example:

--8<---cut here---start->8---
ignore-invalid-option  foo bar
verbose
foo
--8<---cut here---end--->8---

Here foo is an option only available in 2.3.0 but you want to use this
gpg.conf also with gpg 2.2.5.  The ignore-invalid-option meta option
will silently ignore unknown options named "foo" or "bar".  Multiple
ignore-invalid-option lines are cumulative.

This feature is available since 1.4.13 and 2.0.20 .

I would have expected it to select 1.4.

Good to know, but will a version of GPG always select the highest in a
listor the closest number to its own version number if there's not an
exact match?

So if we slightly modify that example and say we have these conf
files:

 1. gpg.conf-1.4.23
 2. gpg.conf-1.4.20
 3. gpg.conf-1.4
 4. gpg.conf-1
 5. gpg.conf

Now if I'm using 1.4.21, will it select the closest version number
(1.4.20) or the highest (1.4.23)?


Regards,
Ben

gpg searches for its configurarion file in this order (I use 1.4.23 as
example):

  gpg.conf-1.4.23
  gpg.conf-1.4
  gpg.conf-1
  gpg.conf

The first existing one is used.  This allows to have separate
configuration files for different gpg versions.  But take care, the GUI
configuration dialogs parse and modify only gpg.conf.

The problem is that the log-file option is not supported by GnuPG 1.4;
it was introduced in some 2.x version.

GnuPG 1.4.22 will look for the following files in order:
~/.gnupg/gpg.conf-1.4.22
~/.gnupg/gpg.conf-1.4
~/.gnupg/gpg.conf-1
~/.gnupg/gpg.conf

and it will take the first one it sees and stop there. By creating
gpg.conf-1, it will never get to gpg.conf and take the unsupported
option from there. Any configuration for GnuPG 1.4.22 will have to be
done in gpg.conf-1, and a 2.x version will still pick up the log-file
option from gpg.conf.

HTH,

Peter.

I don't think this error is because of that because error message says gpg.conf.

Create a possible empty file

   ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf-1

this will then be used for the 1.4 version.
