Am I missing a package here? I've installed gnupg-doc, but I haven't got a package with "gnupg2" in the name installed. Were the packages renamed at some point? -- Friedrich Delgado Friedrichs TauPan on Ircnet and Freenode ;) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

You very probably want `info gnupg2' and not `info gnupg1'. The agent doesn't play an important role for gnupg 1.4. But it does for gnupg 2, which requires the agent.

Package: gnupg Version: 1.4.10-2 Severity: normal The last paragraph of man gpg-agent reads thus: ,[ gpg-agent(1) ] The full documentation for this tool is maintained as a Texinfo manual. If GnuPG and the info program are properly installed at your site, the command info gnupg should give you access to the complete manual including a menu struc‐ ture and an index. ` However calling "info gnupg" in a shell gives me the gnupg manpage which is one paragraph of text. Apparently I can get the full manual with "info gnupg1", however that contains no detailed information about gpg-agent, other than the command line switches of gpg and some environment variables. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-2-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=de_DE.utf8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to de_DE.utf8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages gnupg depends on: ii dpkg 1.15.4.1 Debian package management system ii gpgv 1.4.10-2 GNU privacy guard - signature veri ii install-info 4.13a.dfsg.1-5Manage installed documentation in ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.5-3 high-quality block-sorting file co ii libc6 2.10.1-7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libreadline6 6.0-5 GNU readline and history libraries ii libusb-0.1-4 2:0.1.12-13 userspace USB programming library ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-15 compression library - runtime Versions of packages gnupg recommends: ii gnupg-curl1.4.10-2 GNU privacy guard - a free PGP rep ii libldap-2.4-2 2.4.17-2.1 OpenLDAP libraries Versions of packages gnupg suggests: ii gnupg-doc 2003.04.06+dak1-1 GNU Privacy Guard documentation ii imagemagick7:6.5.7.8-1 image manipulation programs ii libpcsclite1 1.5.5-1 Middleware to access a smart card -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
