7 gpgme is completely unable to support both versions at the same time.
8 It takes the path to GnuPG when the libray is compiled, and defaults to
9 /usr/bin/gpg.

11 I'm interested as to how Debian and other distros resolved the issue.
12 Debian for example only provides gpgme using gnupg-1.
13
14 To restate it more clearly from your paragraph above:
15 kmail DEPENDS on gpgme built-with gnupg-2
16 psi DEPENDS on gpgme built-with gnupg-1
17 basket DEPENDS on gpgme built-with gnupg-1
18
19 The best course of action here is fixing PSI and Basket to work properly
20 with GnuPG2.
21
22 The PSI issue was being tracked in bug 183075, but the users stopped
23 providing information, and it worked from what alonbl could determine.
24 I see it's open as bug 197588 again, hopefully we get enough user
25 interaction to actually solve it now.
26
27 I don't find any bug for Basket, could you please open one with your
28 information about the problems you are having?
29
30 Also, could you confirm that you are indeed running the agent before any
31 of the above stuff is started?
