In response to vedaal's question - installation of gnupg v2.1 is
significantly different from v1.x and even v2.0.  For my Ubuntu
machine hHere is a brief summary of the steps, in order

1. Install latest libraries: npth, libgpg-error, libgcrypt, libksba,
libassuan
2. Execute the following command: sudo ln -sf /dev/null
/etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-keyring-gpg.desktop
3. sudo apt-get install libdb-dev, libdb++-dev, libbz2-dev
4. Install Openldap-2.4.39 using ./configure, make depend, make, sudo
make install
5. sudo apt-get install gtk+-2.0
6. Install pinentry, gnupg-2.1

Of course your milage may vary, machine blow up and hard drive
autowipe.  But it works for me and it is definitely worth it to play
with all the new elliptical curve modes:
