installing gnupg-2.0.26

[Peter Lebbing]

(Note that I don't build my own gnupg; Debian releases security updates
for the distribution-provided binaries and there aren't any new features
that I need, hence I'm satistfied using what my distro provides. I'm
just giving general advice, never having done it myself)

It looks like it could find it, but it is objecting that you installed
version 1.9, needing at least version 1.11. So you need to install a
later version.

I would remove any files installed by the old version before you install
the new one.

HTH,

Peter.
