On systems that have both 'gpg' and 'gpg2', 'gpg' will sometimes be gpg 1. Prefer 'gpg2', which is more likely to be the newer version. This can be important, because gpg 1 does not include the key fingerprint when generating a signature, instead only including the key id. This is true for all versions of gpg prior to 2.1.16. And gpg versions 2.3.0 and newer only support the --auto-key-retrieve option when the signature includes the fingerprint.
