I suggest you contact the package maintainer for Ubuntu's GNUPG2 packages. I have just recompiled Fedora's locally and it fixed my issues with pinpad entry I was having. I was running 2.0.21 before. I will email the package maintainer in Fedora to as him to roll another gnupg2, even if it is just sits in updates-testing for a bit. If you are not using the pinpad entry on a pinpad based smart card reader, try setting the pinentry-program /usr/bin/pinentry-gtk-2 option(or whichever pin entry option you prefer), in a file called gpg-agent.conf, within the gnupg directory. Hope this helps!
