Public bug reported:

After clean install of Ubuntu-Gnome 16.04 LTS I tried to import all my
previous exported gpg keys. Although it seems the keys are imported,
they do not show up in seahorse (Passwords and Keys). Also Evolution did
not find to proper keys to decrypt messages.

It seems however that the keys have been imported under gpg1 in stead of
gpg2. This can also be confirmed with the list command (gpg --list-key
and gpg2 -- list-keys).

Importing all keys by command (gpg2 --import Multiple_Keys.asc) seems to
work, however only one (1) personal secret key is shown in Seahorse, an
second/third/etc. personal secret key can be imported by command (and is
shown by list command) but is not shown in seahorse.
