After a couple upgrades gnupg security is not working for me:
- keyrings were copied to /home/user/.gnupg and are rw for user as well as the folder itself
- kleopatra is installed
- gpg -k (as user) lists all keys correctly
- gpg --list-secret-keys (as user) lists secret keys correctly
- kleopatra also lists all these keys

but

Kontact_Mobile Mail

- does not decrypt mails
- does not sign mails
- I cannot select a key under identity/crypto:
  -- keys are not offered for selecting
  -- rereading keys does not offer anything or the process stalls fetching the keys
- Kleopatra does not seem to accept the private keys as such and assumes there is no private certificate and wants to create one

In summary I don't find a way to get engryption with existing gpg keys working.

Do you have any ideas, what could be wrong?

Thank your for your effort.
