GPG Keychain 1.2

Hi ! I use GPGSuite GPG Keychain in os x yosemite and work well but I use in Thunderbird and I have a message my version is not upgrade to use with enigmail and I do upgrade to version 2.0 ?

I want an upgrade but when I click say me your version is good

I just download the new GPGSuite but if I install this I loose my list of pub key and my private key ?

What is the pure way to update ? Thank you

    Hi ggkameleon,

    sorry for your troubles. It looks like you still have an older version of gnupg on your computer. GPG Suite tries to detect older installations and will make sure, not to remove them.

    To get a picture of what is currently installed on your system, please run the following commands in Terminal and post all the output to this discussion here:

    gpg --version
    gpg2 --version
    /usr/local/MacGPG2/bin/gpg2 --version
    

    If you do no longer need gpg1, the following command removes gpg1 and creates a link to gpg2.

    sudo ln -fs /usr/local/MacGPG2/bin/gpg2 /usr/local/bin/gpg
    

    That should solve this problem.

    Thanks,
    steve

    Could you please open Terminal.app and paste the following:

    
    sudo ln -fs /usr/local/MacGPG2/bin/gpg2 /usr/local/bin/gpg
    

    Does Thunderbird still complain afterwards?
