The truecrypt-7.1a-linux-x64.tar.gz.sig file is only 72 bytes long. It may be because of long keys used by Arch developers, but all signature files I see are 287 bytes long. I'd go and ask the developers directly. -- Hubert Kario [email protected] [email protected] https://hubert.kario.pl PGP: 30D7 71F5 2F6F B157 872C D811 A1D0 6BC9 8956 DCFE
