Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnupg

Straight forward install... barely used gpg in the past (imported some
GPG and old PGP keys).  Mythbuntu and a few other packages are installed
as well.  System history: originally installed with 7.10, did apt-get
for mythbuntu.  Later upgraded to 8.04.

According to this: 
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto#GPG%202.0
it is suggested to "uninstall gnupg before installing gnupg2"  However, when I 
do so, aptitude signals that it is going to remove many other components which 
I do not want removed.

The following packages will be automatically REMOVED:
  apport-gtk libgpgme11 mythbuntu-control-centre mythbuntu-desktop 
  mythtv-backend-master mythtv-database python-gnupginterface 
  python-software-properties seahorse software-properties-gtk 
  ubuntu-desktop ubuntu-keyring ubuntu-minimal ubuntu-standard 
  update-manager update-manager-core update-notifier 

Full capture is below.
