Everytime I think that all my problems are solved with the next answer

Can you tell me something about the different parts? 

gnupg-1.2.6 is the stable version.
gnupg-1.3.92 is the unstable version (what's new in this branch?)
gnupg-1.9.10 is another unstable version (what's different in this 
branch?
gpgme-1.0.1 is a interoperability library for kmail vs. gpg, right?

I want to use GPG for securing my mails including the attachements. So I 
can't use the deprecated "inline OpenPGP" method.

I've found the Aegypten2 project page[1] and the requirements are: gnupg 
(>= 1.9.10). Or is that the requirement only for the SMIME standard?

Thanks. After installing I made some softlinks[2] but now everything 
seems fine. I'm now waiting for a feedback of my crypted mail.

Thanks for your great support.
