Fedora Core: 1.4.2.1-3 Moderate GnuPG Keyring Read Error

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.. ---------------------------------------------------------------------Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2006-121 2006-02-24 ---------------------------------------------------------------------Product : Fedora Core 4 Name : gnupg Version : 1.4.2.1 Release : 3 Summary : A GNU utility for secure communication and data storage. Description : 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). ---------------------------------------------------------------------Update Information: 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.
