I didn't mean to say the OS is old or obsolete :). I meant the GnuPG version was
much older than the OS, so people don't usually make such a combination, hence
people don't build those binaries.

(Actually, RHEL 5 is from 2007, I only looked at the release date of the update,
so I accidentally made it sound more extreme than it was)

It might make a lot of sense to install the latest (or at least a recent and
supported) version of the 1.4 tree. Or it might make sense to install 2.0 as you
say, but the upgrade path from 1.2.1 to 1.4.x is easier.

HTH,

Peter.
