I've tested the RPMS on Mdk82 and the upgrade went just fine. I'm placing the 
RPMS on line just now.

You can do a safe upgrade by simply copying the contents of ~/.gnupg 
directory to some other place, then rename .gnupg/options to gpg.conf and, 
once the new gpg is installed, launch gpg --rebuild-keydb-caches

If something goes wrong, uninistall gnupg-1.2.0, install back 1.0.6 and copy 
the old .gnupg dir back into your home dir.
