In all three cases I installed the distro from a DVD which I had burnt
from a downloaded ISO file. I also would not expect it to make any
difference that they are running in VBox.

I think I must research this a lot more. When I try to run kgpg I get a
message that it can't start gnugpg because either the options file is
missing or the permissions are set wrongly. I can't see any problem with
them.

Oh well, more searching,

Neil
