Patric,

I did that. But now I have half resolved the issue. The error only appears on a 64 bit gpg2
system - I removed all refs in Enigmail to gpg2 - now the only error message I get is "bad
passphrase."

I recall having a 64 bit Fedora O/S and experiencing the same kind of problems about 4 years
ago.

Now my only problem is I can not change the passphrase GPA Kleopatra KGpg or from the
terminal. So am going to un-install gpg2 - I hope that fixes the problems.

David
