Surely this is a newbie question, but I have been trying for some time to
get GPG to create a signed and encrypted file. Not wanting to go through
the whole recompile thing and not caring to use the IDEA cipher, it seems to
me that GPG should simply work by default. Sadly, it does not seem to wor

The showpref on the key does not mention IDEA, which leaves me also
with no idea how IDEA is in the mix.
Cipher: AES256, AES192, AES, CAST5, 3DES
Digest: SHA256, SHA1, SHA384, SHA512, SHA224
Compression: ZLIB, BZIP2, ZIP, Uncompressed
Features: MDC, Keyserver no-modify

The initial install had written a gpg.conf file that seems to have
been the problem. I replaced it with a new gpg.conf that has the
default-key set to the new keyid I made and the problem is solved.
