That's a relatively recent change. It's available in the Fedora (and RHEL) libgcrypt-1.10 packages which I believe are only in the freshly released Fedora 36 and RHEL 9. Previous releases contained a 'hobbled' libgcrypt tarball where the brainpool curves were removed entirely. (That's the usual practice for items which cannot be included for legal reasons.) It's good to see things are moving in the right direction, at least. -- Todd signature.asc Description: PGP signature ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org https://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users

A workaround for this is to download the SRPM, remove the line '-- disable-brainpool' and rebuild the package.

I did a custom Rebuild of the package after modifying the .spec and now everything woks as expected.

BTW, when I search for brainpool I only find definitions and RFC's, I seem unable to find why they are needed (or why they would be peferred) over other curves. -- ir. J.C.A.

Some sheets survive. I'm sure some CDR's and some USB sticks will also survive for many centuries, but most probably won't. -- ir. J.C.A.
