It seems that successfully upgraded to 2.5.7
When running  
gpgsm --import New-Certificate.p12

I obtain 
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

gpgsm: enabled debug flags: memstat
gpgsm: enabled compatibility flags:
gpgsm: no running gpg-agent - starting '/usr/bin/gpg-agent'
gpgsm: waiting for the agent to come up ... (8s)
gpgsm: connection to the agent established
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Then a lot of 
lines like gpgsm: total number processed: 4
and then 
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
gpgsm:               imported: 1
gpgsm:              unchanged: 2
gpgsm:       secret keys read: 1
gpgsm:   secret keys imported: 1
gpgsm: cert_chain_cache: cached=2
gpgsm: random usage: poolsize=600 mixed=0 polls=0/0 added=0/0
              outmix=0 getlvl1=0/0 getlvl2=0/0
gpgsm: rndjent stat: collector=0x0000000000000000 calls=0 bytes=0
gpgsm: secmem usage: 0/16384 bytes in 0 blocks

gpgsm: DBG: _tlv_parser_new:1985: 0 at 0 (0x0000634260ae4860,7076)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

So it seems to have worked 
also gpgsm --list-keys

Shows the key.

It is however not clear to me (or better said I forgot) how to tell
gpgsm now to use the new Certificate for signing.
