No, if you want to set up gpg you need to do it yourself: $ mkdir ~/.gnupg $ chmod 600 ~/.gnupg $ cp /usr/share/gnupg/options.skel ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf $ gpg --gen-key I'm sure that gnupg used to do the first three of these for you, but having just tried it, it didn't work without having set up the ~/.gnupg directory.
