Since gnupg2 2.1.14-5 started providing the "gnupg" binary package, this
should be resolved.  (feel free to reopen if that's not correct).

fwiw, i don't know what "singularity container" is, or why it would want
all three packages gnupg, gnupg2, and gnupg1.  That seems like a bad
situation to me, and one that's likely ill-advised.  if you want to
point me to any documentation about that, i'd be happy to read up on it.
