<p>gpg: starting migration from earlier GnuPG versions<br>
gpg: WARNING: server 'gpg-agent' is older than us (2.0.30 < 2.1.21)<br>
gpg: error: GnuPG agent version "2.0.30" is too old.<br>
gpg: Please make sure that a recent gpg-agent is running.<br>
gpg: (restarting the user session may achieve this.)<br>
gpg: migration aborted</p>
<p><strong>Expected</strong><br>
I would expect that gnupg2 would interoperate with the most recent release of the GPG tools software. Is there anything I do to help? I had to disable the agent in the preferences in order to get GPG to work again.</p>
