That one is provided by the gnupg package.

The kmail package for lenny depends on libkleopatra1 which in turn 
depends on libgpgme11 which in turn depends on gnupg, so if you 
installed the kmail package I can't see how you didn't have gpgme.

Then, gpgpme is a /library/ so it won't install anything in /usr/bin. As 
stated before, yet, gpgme (I should say the libgpgme11 package) depends 
on gnupg that provides th /usr/bin/gpg binary.

Then, (from your last off-line message) you CANNOT use checkinstall to 
install _debian_ packages. Checkinstall _builds_ .deb packages from 
source tarballs but those packages ARE NOT debian packages; they will be 
"user" packages and you are running for trouble if you install them 
along side with official packages unless you are perfectly aware of this 
and of all the twists and turns you may have to go through using 
checkinstall, so please, do yourself a favor: forget checkinstall and 
install debian packages with aptitude. If you "always use checkinstall", 
as you say, then you never install _debian_ packages.

While I am not 100% sure about this, I think this means that apt cannot 
connect to a repository on which it can find the gnupg package. What do 
you have in your sources.list (and while we're at it, do you have 
something special in your apt.conf) ?
