GPG 1.1.92 bogus error for IDEA plugin

[Larry Ellis]

Hello,

When encrypting with option --pgp2, I received the following series of
messages:

C:\junk>gpg -e -r ellis --pgp2 frank.txt
gpg: NOTE: THIS IS A DEVELOPMENT VERSION!
gpg: It is only intended for test purposes and should NOT be
gpg: used in a production environment or with production keys!
gpg: encrypting a message in --pgp2 mode requires the IDEA cipher
gpg: the IDEA cipher plugin is not present
gpg: please see http://www.gnupg.org/why-not-idea.html for more information
gpg: this message may not be usable by PGP 2.x
File `frank.gpg' exists. Overwrite (y/N)?

In spite of the message about an absent IDEA plugin, there was an IDEA
plugin in place (from www.nullify.org),  and the encryption occurred
successfully.  Also, the encryption *did* occur, in spite of the bogus
message.

The bogus error messages are not produced if verison 1.1.91 is used.


Regards,

L. Ellis
