gopass: Failed to fetch public key
Getting this whenever I use init and either select a key from the menu or enter in a long ID.
I’m pretty sure I have this public key locally as it is from my own private keypair.
Is there any way to get additional debugging details so I can determine what this means? (I.e. failure of the gpg binary, maybe something wrong with my key, etc.)
Thanks.

Might not hurt to capture the version of gpg with
gpg --versionand do slightly different handling or offer a warning if two versions are detected. Could also do a “smart” detection where if the.gnupg/secring.dbexists that meansgpghas been initialized, otherwise if the.gnupg/pubring.kbxexists they are using gpg2. I also noticed if you ran gpg2 after gpg1 there is a.gnupg/.gpg-v21-migratedfile which reading their release notes strongly suggestions you stop using gpg if possible because gpg2 operations won’t update the gpg1 pub/priv keys for trust anymore.For some reason I had gpg1 installed also, I don’t need that so I uninstalled and it works for me. Might be worth just adding an override via an env variable in case this comes up for someone who doesn’t have a good workaround?
We’re collecting the first batch of feedback in develop and will soon do a point release. If you’re using go get you can check out master and build that anytime.
