It looks to me like you have gnupg2 2.0.26 installed. enigmail should
find that automatically if you haven't explicitly overridden its path to
gpg.
Do you have a path set explicitly in enigmail's configuration?
Also, do you have gnome-keyring installed? is it configured to
masquerade as gpg-agent? if so, you might want to disable that. please
