While my mind was idly mulling this over, I suddenly wondered if what you are doing is even supposed to work at all. I think perhaps you just haven't discovered the dire consequences of it yet. GnuPG 1.4 and 2.0 are co-installable, and will happily work installed on the same system. GnuPG 1.4 and 2.1+ are in the basis co-installable, but still can present you with issues like keyrings going out of sync or requiring careful crafting of configuration files, off the top of my head. But 2.0 and 2.1+ are definitely not co-installable. You can't have them both on the same system. Right now you put GnuPG 2.2 and its dependencies in /usr/local, but GnuPG 2.0 and its dependencies are still in /usr. Their dependencies might start to mingle. The only way in which this might work is if I misinterpreted "not co-installable", and 2.0 in /usr and 2.1+ in /usr/local is not actually an instance of "co-installation". But I don't think that's the case. It might also work by pure chance and break horribly on the next update. A solution, where GnuPG 2.1+ is statically linked against its dependencies, was discussed here: <https://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-users/2018-February/059969.html> Werner introduced the partial static linking in the just released 2.2.5. Oh, and by the way, a little housekeeping information... You started your thread on the mailing list by replying to a completely unrelated thread (wotmate: simple grapher for your keyring). Could you please start a new thread the next time? Just address a message to <gnupg-users@gnupg.org> instead of replying to an existing message. Those of us with a threading view of the mailing list now see it as somehow being a part of the "wotmate: simple grapher for your keyring" thread, but they bare no relation whatsoever. HTH, Peter. -- I use the GNU Privacy Guard (GnuPG) in combination with Enigmail. You can send me encrypted mail if you want some privacy.
