Then I realised it was o= n the Classic Branch 1.4. Reading about this branch, it is still getting secu= rity updates (last in 2018) but its purpose is said to be to support people w= ho have archives of documents, messages, etc that are signed by old PGP keys = that are no longer supported in the Modern Branch 2.x.. Hence 1.4 is required= to be able to decrypt them. Is IPFire using the 1.4 Branch because there is some historic requirement for= the older insecure keys. If yes, or there is some other reason that means IPFire should stay on 1.4 th= en I will leave GnuPG alone. If no then I would have a go at updating GnuPG to the 2.2 Branch that is curr= ent. I will wait to hear your feedback on this before doing anything. Regards, Adolf. --===============7649960824606894949==--
