It looks to me like you have gnupg2 2.0.26 installed.  enigmail should
find that automatically if you haven't explicitly overridden its path to
gpg.

Do you have a path set explicitly in enigmail's configuration?

Also, do you have gnome-keyring installed?  is it configured to
masquerade as gpg-agent?  if so, you might want to disable that.  please
see https://bugs.debian.org/870073
