It's been a year since last update. Still an issue. Maybe someone should send
an email to gnupg-commits-owner@gnupg.org ?

I took a look at the source code and now understand what is going on here.
The code indicates: One or more secret keys (primary or sub) were found.
But the UI message suggests that the secret key of the current (primary) key was
found, hence my confusion.
Here are some ideas:
- EASY: Update the message to indicate it is generic and not specific to the key
being edited.
OR
- HARDER: Improve the logic so the message is specific to the key being edited.
Thoughts?

jcross changed Version from 2.0.28 to 1.4.19 on T2289: UI says “Secret key is available.” in gpg when it is not.
Here you go:
My master key is offline and I have subkeys on a Yubikey. As expected, I see sec# when listing keys when using the
online system:
gpg -K
sec# 4096R/2FFA7695 2016-02-01 [expires: 2020-01-31]
uid NAME <EMAIL@ADDRESS.COM>
ssb> 2048R/EA7CCF1B 2016-02-01
ssb> 2048R/1E8DA9B9 2016-02-01
ssb> 2048R/5BA60C24 2016-02-01
However, when I go into edit mode, gpg indicates that the "Secret is available":
gpg --edit-key 2FFA7695

Tested with several recent versions of GnuPG. Am I misunderstanding this message?

Bug system broke the link URL. Here is a shorter one:
