Nightly build (build date: 2016-11-12, version: 2.0a1pre, git rev: 231141444278e7bba0efe4d7362e45ff3652ffac) can "find" gpg2 (but I get other errors probably related to the early stage of the prerelease).

To summarize: All reports so far have the "gpg failed with exitCode -1" and all are on Linux. GnuPG versions are differing, but I don't think that this matters.

Enigmail v1.9.6 is not a broken build. It just contains a change that does not work properly on some Linux computers (but by far not all of them). There is no way to prevent this from happening, given that I do 80% of the development, all of the testing and and the releasing - and I'm not getting paid for doing this.

I created a new build that reverts the change causing the issue. Please download the following version of Enigmail: https://www.enigmail.net/download/nightly/enigmail-nightly-1.9.6.1.xpi
also had the issue on Arch Linux, Thunderbird 45.4, GPG 2.1.15
fixed using the linked nightly from the last comment, thanks.
Works great, thanks Patrick!
Same problem here. I hope the fix will come to the stable version soon. (Arch Linux, TB 45.4.0, Enigmail 1.9.6)
When will the patch available in thunderbird? Are there any planned way to prevent broken build happens in future?
