Nope. You will never find a secring.kbc. 2.1 uses secring.gpg only in
this ways:
If secring.gpg exists and the file .gpg-v21-migrated does not exist, the
secret keys from secring.gpg are imported to private-keys-v1.d/ and
.gpg-v21-migrated is created.
The migrated keys are stored in a special intermediate format below
private-keys-v1.d/ and converted to the final format as soon as you use
that key and thus have to enter the passphrase (which is needed for
re-encryption).
Salam-Shalom,
Werner
