Older versions of Evolution detected PGP 6.5.8 as PGP 2.6.x, so you're
probably right - there was probably never a pgp 2.6.x on your system.

I have no idea why it didn't work for you, I was able to flip between
pgp 2.6.x, pgp 5.x, pgp 6.5.8 and gpg and it never once failed to
detected which version it really was.

I don't see how this could have been the case, they use the exact same
code path.

We just print everything that the pgp binary writes to stderr or
whatever, we don't treat gpg more special than any other pgp program.
