Peculiar behavior of --list-secret-keys

[Juan Miguel Navarro Martínez]

You are using GnuPG 1.x and GnuPG 2.1.x, they use different keyring
locations for storing public and secret keys.

The only time when GnuPG 2.1.x uses "pubring.gpg" instead of
"pubring.kbx" is when it detects public keys on pubring.gpg before
installing it.

So now you have GnuPG 1.x using pubring.gpg and secring.gpg and GnuPG
2.1.x using pubring.kbx and private-keys-v1.d folder. Every keys you
import or make in GnuPG 1.x won't appear in GnuPG 2.1.x and vice versa,
you'll have to use --import and --export on both versions to sync the
keyrings.

As to way GnuPG 2.1.x is looking at pubring.kbx, I don't know. I suppose
you made a secret key with GnuPG 2.1?
