If I remember correctly, the set of 'applications' on an Ubuntu system
is only a subset of the set of packages. Specifically, applications
are only programs that, when installed, have entries in the menu (or
its Unity replacement). Programs that are console-only are usually not
listed in the menu and it is possible that they are also not listed in
the Software Center.
So the fact that there is no application called gnupg does not mean
that gnupg is not installed. It probably is. Maybe just open a
terminal and type 'gnupg', that way you can be sure.
