Fedora Core: 1.4.2.1-3 Moderate GnuPG Keyring Read Error

GnuPG (GNU Privacy Guard) is a GNU utility for encrypting data and

creating digital signatures. GnuPG has advanced key management

capabilities and is compliant with the proposed OpenPGP Internet

standard described in RFC2440. Since GnuPG doesn't use any patented

algorithm, it is not compatible with any version of PGP2 (PGP2.x uses

only IDEA for symmetric-key encryption, which is patented worldwide).

The previous update, to version 1.4.2.1, could produce

errors when gpg attempted to read certain keyrings produced

by earlier versions of GnuPG. This update includes a fix

for that bug.

- add patch from David Shaw to fix error reading keyrings created with older

versions of GnuPG (Enrico Scholz, #182029)
