GPG command not found
Reported by René Pirringer | July 12th, 2022 @ 10:20 AM
I try to compose an OpenPGP encrypted message. When I click the
lock icon in the compose window then I get the message:
OpenPGP: Unable to locate the command (gpg) needed to work with an
OpenPGP message
I have installed gpg using brew with: 'brew install gpg2'
So the gpg2 command is present:
/usr/local/bin ❯ which gpg2
/usr/local/bin/gpg2
/usr/local/bin ❯ gpg2 --version
gpg (GnuPG) 2.3.7
libgcrypt 1.10.1
...
The gpg2 command in /usr/local/bin is a symlink:
/usr/local/bin ❯ ls -la /usr/local/bin/gpg2
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 21 12 Jul 11:53 /usr/local/bin/gpg2 -> /opt/homebrew/bin/gpg
Do I miss something or is this an issue with MailMate?
Im using a M1 MacBook Pro and the latest MailMate Version: Version 1.14 (5905)

MailMate calls
/usr/local/bin/gpgby default (notgpg2). Maybe that is not symlinked (or is no longer symlinked) by default when installing withbrew? -

Yes the problem was the missing /usr/local/bin/gpg. I have created a symlink and now it works.
