Does the file /usr/bin/pgp5s exist?  I doubt it.  PGP 5 breaks up the
functionality into separate programs, if you have installed from the
debs, you probably have pgp2.?  installed (if at all) as /usr/bin/pgp2
and pgp5 installed as (/usr/bin/pgp, /usr/bin/pgps, /usr/bin/pgpe,
/usr/bin/pgpk, /usr/bin/pgpv).  What you want to tell mutt is:

set pgp_v5=/usr/bin/pgp
set pgp_v2=/usr/bin/pgp2  # if you want to still use it

mutt is taking the file that you give it and tacking on an "s", "e",
or whatever it needs.
