looking for a binary named gpg in PATH env var. fresh in trunk and still 
unreleased is 
 https://code.launchpad.net/~ed.so/duplicity/gpg.binary/+merge/262540

what's the advantage of gpg over gpg2, when both are installed?

>Do I need a setup directive to explicitly give the path to gpg2?

if you want to enforce gpg2 you can

1. symlink eg. /usr/local/bin.duplicity/gpg -> /sw/bin/gpg2  and run duplicity 
with PATH="/usr/local/bin.duplicity/:$PATH"

2. download & install latest duplicity source and use the mentioned new 
parameter

3. dirty but quick, patch gpginterface.py around line 286 -> self.call = 'gpg'

try the standard *nix way. run duplicity with a modified PATH env var as 
outlined above.
