Trouble installing Version 2.1 on Debian Jessie

[Rex Kneisley]

Hello All,

I'm trying to install version 2.1 the "Debian way".

According to dkg's web-log entry titled "GnuPG 2.1.0 in debian experimental"

I should use experimental.

so I added the experimental repository:
# Experimental repository - main, contrib and non-free branches
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian experimental main non-free contrib
deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian experimental main non-free contrib

Created an apt preferences file
/etc/apt/preferences.d/my_preferences
with:
Package: *
Pin: release a=stable
Pin-Priority: 700

Package: *
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: 650

Package: *
Pin: release a=experimental
Pin-Priority: 625


Package: *
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 600

ran:
sudo apt-get update
checked priorities with:
rexk at debian-pc:~$ sudo apt-cache policy gnupg
gnupg:
  Installed: 1.4.18-7+deb8u3
  Candidate: 1.4.18-7+deb8u3
  Version table:
     2.1.20-3 0
        625 http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ experimental/main amd64
Packages
     2.1.18-6 0
        650 http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ testing/main amd64 Packages
        600 http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable/main amd64 Packages
 *** 1.4.18-7+deb8u3 0
        700 http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     1.4.18-7+deb8u2 0
        700 http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates/main amd64 Packages

and finally ran the commands:

cp -aT .gnupg .gnupg.bak
sudo apt install -t experimental gnupg2 gnupg-agent dirmngr gpgsm gpgv2 scdaemon

which produced the following results:

Was I missing a step?

Any help would be appreciated.
