I have installed gpg4win version 1.1.4 with the following
details/versions:
GnuPG: 1.4.9
GnuPG2: 2.0.10
DirMngr: 1.0.3-svn310
GPA: 0.8.0
GPGol: 0.9.92
GPGee: 1.3.1
WinPT: 1.2.0
Claws-Mail: 3.0.0-rc2
Novices: 1.0.0
Einsteiger: 2.0.2
Durchblicker: 2.0.2
I have installed GPGShell version 3.7.2 on top to maintain the keys with
a gui interface. I have created many keys without issue and have no
issues decrypting any files. Until yesterday; I created a key pair,
distributed the public key, and received a test file from my partner. I
received the following error: 'gpg: mpi larger than indicated length
(258 bytes)'.
I have found the only references to this error back in the 2005-2006
timeframe and involving GnuPG version 1.4.2. I assume that version
1.4.9 (that I am using) would contain the fix that was used to correct
this issue.
Any ideas? Do I need to delete the key and create a new one?
