[SOLVED] slackpkg gpg problems

No because /usr/bin/gpg is supplied by version 1. Version 2 supplies /usr/bin/gpgv2

OK, so installing gnupg 1.4 works without needing the later version.

Why are there two seemingly stable versions in the repo?

Different apps use different versions. See GTK and GTK-2.

installing 1.4.10 seems to remove the error but sbopkg still complains about gpg verification failing

I guess I can uninstall gnupg2 2.0.14 now?

I recommend that you keep gpg2. Newer software uses it anyway. It is designed to coexist with the old version.

sbopkg or slackpkg? What's the error? What gpg sig is being verified (i.e., what package(s) is it failing on)? Some errors indicate a problem but some errors just mean everything's working correctly on your end and something's wrong with the thing being verified.

(BTW, if you want to know why two gpgs and which or both of them, the manuals tell you.)
