Hi all,
I have an issue which is described below:
earlier i was using Gnupg-1.0.6 for my appliaction. Now i have
replaced it
with Gnupg-1.4.9.
I am facing some issue related to keyrings. As per my application.
I need to perform following application.
I did finally get these encrypt/decrypt procedures to work:
gpg (1.0.6) for encryption followed by gpg (1.4.9) for decryption
gpg (1.4.9) for encryption followed by gpg (1.0.6) for
decryption
But for that i have to use same ( gnupg-1.0.6 ) keyrings file for
both
situations.
In the GPG tarball, in the "tools" directory, there is a script
"convert-from-106". Run it, and you should be in better shape.
Is this something that all of us with old keyrings need to do? If
so, can you
please either point us to instructions that a user could follow, or
explain
how to do it? Thanks.
If "old" is 1.0.6 (circa 2001), and you haven't used any version of
GPG after 1.0.6 (i.e. you just upgraded from 1.0.6 to 1.4.9 like the
original poster) then you just need to run the convert-from-106
script. There aren't any instructions beyond that. The script takes
care of the various changes for you.
If you're not sure what to do, run it. There is no harm in running it
when it is not needed.
David
