I don't have gpg-2.1.0 on my computer but I will try to install it and look at it

Comment 3 Andre Heinecke 2014-12-03 10:25:28 UTC

I can't reproduce this with current gnupg master. 

Maybe this is a manifestation of:
https://bugs.gnupg.org/gnupg/issue1774

Do you have your public keyring in .kbx format?
Do you have more then one key in your public keyring?

(I'm Still using Kmail 4.13.3 but I doubt that the key access code has changed since then)

I could try to reproduce this with gnupg 2.1.0

Comment 4 Samir Nassar 2014-12-03 11:09:11 UTC

I do. On upgrading to GnuPG 2.1.0 I exported my public keys, private keys and trustdb, deleted .gnupg, and imported cleanly.
