Since a couple of months ago emacs 25.0.x (last tested as 2016/03/08
from git master) can't open encrypted files (using symmetric keys), as
epa can't find secret keys from gpg.
This is the error message I get:
"""
Error while decrypting with "gpg":
gpg: encrypted with 2048-bit RSA key, ID C0ED9C8489B28C43, created 2016-01-12
"Iñigo Serna (XXX.YY) <inigo@XXX.YY>"
gpg: decryption failed: No secret key
"""
I use gpg (not gpg2) so I added '(setq epg-gpg-program "gpg")' to my
configuration as new epa defaults to gpg2 when I've run "emacs -Q -nw".
`epa-list-secret-keys` does not find any keys.
This same configuration works ok with 24.5.1 (from Fedora 23 x86_64), and
even `epa-list-secret-keys` shows the private keys correctly.

This behavior is intended, if the key was created with gpg2. GnuPG 2.1
removed support for secring.gpg, which was used by pre-2.1 versions.
That is one of the reasons we switched the default to "gpg2".
See doc/whats-new-in-2.1.txt in GnuPG:
1.1 Removal of the secret keyring
─────────────────────────────────
[...]
2.1. However, any change to the private keys using the new /gpg/ will
not show up when using pre-2.1 versions of GnuPG and vice versa.

Sorry, I don't understand.
The key was generated with gpg v1.x, and I want to continue using gpg
v1.x within emacs. From cli, I can see the correct key with "gpg -K".
I understand from the doc you cited that now it is not possible
to use gpg v1.x keys with gpg v2.1+ and vice versa. But in my case I
want to use a v1.x key with gpg v1.x. And that's why I set
`epg-pgp-program' to "gpg" instead of using default "gpg2".
Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance,

Then I suspect that Emacs is using "gpg2" instead of "gpg" regardless of
the `epg-gpg-program' setting. How do you set the variable, with `setq'
or M-x customize ?

I use 'setq' as mentioned in the first message.
Even, "gpg" is showed in the error message:
"""

gpg: encrypted with 2048-bit RSA key, ID 89B28C43, created 2016-01-12

That's strange indeed. Are you able to check what is happening by
setting (setq epg-debug t) and looking at the " *epg-debug*" buffer
(note the first whitespace)? The buffer should contain the actual
command-line and the interactions between Emacs and the "gpg" command.

You were right, it is using gpg2!
GPG_AGENT_INFO is not set
/usr/bin/gpg2 --no-tty --status-fd 1 --yes --enable-progress-filter --command-fd 0 --output /tmp/epg-output8110Oun --decrypt --/home/inigo/personal/agenda/other.org.gpg
[GNUPG:] PROGRESS /home/inigo/personal ? 0 3518
[GNUPG:] ENC_TO C0ED9C8489B28C43 1 0
[GNUPG:] NO_SECKEY C0ED9C8489B28C43
[GNUPG:] BEGIN_DECRYPTION
[GNUPG:] DECRYPTION_FAILED
[GNUPG:] PROGRESS /home/inigo/personal ? 3518 3518
[GNUPG:] END_DECRYPTION
I tested setting `epg-gpg-program' to something like "xxx", error buffer
displays "xxx" as gpg program in message, but debug shows
"/usr/bin/gpg2" again.
Note I have gpg and gpg2 both installed on my system.
I can't uninstall gpg2 package, but I've tried renaming /usr/bin/gpg2 to
somenthing else; in this case the encrypted file is correctly opened
even without setting `epg-gpg-program' to "gpg".
So I think problem comes that when epa finds gpg2 binary in system it
does not honore `epg-gpg-program' setting.
Thanks,
Iñigo Serna

Then I guess you could avoid the problem by setting the variable with
M-x customize-variable and save the configuration, instead of `setq', as
epg respects the setting through custom:

Bingo!
It works now when setting the variable through `customize-variable'.
Thanks a lot for your time and help,
