Thanks for that background.

I installed gnupg1 and I can use gpg1 command to decrypt my data as 
usual (instead of using gpg as I did in the past). However, current gpg, 
which links to gpg2, still doesn't work.

I tried exporing my secret keys using gpg1 and importing them using 
gpg2, which seems to have gone fine:

$ gpg1 --export-secret-keys  | gpg2 --import
< snipped info: 2 not changed, 1 imported>
gpg: Total number processed: 3
gpg:              unchanged: 3
gpg:       secret keys read: 3
gpg:  secret keys unchanged: 3


I can list secret keys using both versions using the following command:
$ gpg1 --list-secret-keys
$ gpg --list-secret-keys

So far, so good.

Still, however, decryption my file using gpg2 does not work: it does not 
ask for my passphrase on the std in and just times out. gpg1 works though.

What am I missing?

Package I have on my testing box:
$ COLUMNS=75 dpkg -l gnupg* | grep ^i
