Hi
Wasn't sure whether to send this into a Debian list or a GnuPG list.
Mailed my request for help here because I thought Werner might want
to read about it...
My own workstation was running Debian testing back in February. For
various reasons I was only able to upgrade through Debian Sarge to
the latest testing about two weeks ago. After upgrading I found that
the box was asking to install GnuPG2 from the Debian site. I have
already installed GnuPG 1.9.11 from source from the GnuPG.org site.
The GnuPG file that wants to install itself is...
gnupg2_1.9.15-6_i386.deb
I've checked the MD5 sum for this. It's correct. Without this the
system can't update itself and I can't install any updates. Can
anyone offer any advice how to get out of this without breaking
anything ? More info below...
# apt-get -f install gnupg2
