Hi Julian, my apologies for the inconveniences. I must admit, I'm not a user of the script and didn't test it with and without the dependency. I only convinced myself that gpg is called and assumed the missing dependency is valid. I realize I don't understand enough of the package to fix anything by simply adding gpg to the dependency list and won't NMU. Cheers, Bruno
