Try "gpg2 --version" and look for a line like:


Compression: Uncompressed, ZIP, ZLIB, BZIP2


... I suspect you'll discover whoever compiled your GnuPG 2 neglected to
include support for the BZIP2 algorithm.

How can I correct the preference string?



Some hints:

1)  Do you have 'BZIP2' in .gnupg/gpg.conf in the preference string?

$ grep -n 'BZIP2' .gnupg/gpg.conf

If the above grep command prints something to the screen try removing 
'BZIP2' from the file.


2)  If you do:

$ gpg2 --version

look at the gpg.conf found in the directory specified by the line 'Home: 
...'.


3)  If you pass the option '--homedir' to gpg2 you should look in the 
gpg.conf found in that directory.

Re: gpg show default / effective options

Wow, that is exactly what I needed.

I will walk through them soon and report any problems directly to you.

Thanks Werner!

Kind regards,

You can run

   gpgconf --list-options gpg

which prints the options and their current values in a format described
in the gpgconf man page.  Frontends like Kleopatra and GPA use this to
provide a GUI page with options.

However, this does only include a subset of all options.  In theory the
man page should list the actual defaults but I am pretty sure that
some(tm) are missing.  If you find such flaws, please let me know and
I'll add them to the docs.


Salam-Shalom,

Werner

gpg show default / effective options

[Wiktor Kwapisiewicz via Gnupg-users]

Hello,

Is it possible to print default or effective options used by GnuPG?

I'm in the process of slimming down gpg.conf and see that many options 
are either redundant (because gpg uses them by default) or no-ops.


I would like to see which options are used to safely remove obsolete 
settings.


While it is kind-of possible to infer defaults from the source (e.g. 
[0]) I wondered if there is a command that would print all settings that 
are default or effective at the moment.


Thank you in advance!

Kind regards,
Wiktor
