Hello Vincent, Disclaimer: I am not in uploaders of gpg packaging but follow the list. We were aware that some breakage was to be expected (a little bit late, though), and will provide help/assistance (quoting Daniel 1023601: "this might cause knock-on effects for projects that themselves think they should be dependent on gpgme-config, but i'll try to sort those through as well.") I do not think the bug severity is correct. It does not break any binary packages, i.e. it fits "a bug which has a major effect on the usability of a package, without rendering it completely unusable to everyone." One might argue that the combination of this gpgme version with unbuildable packages is not releaseable and up with serious. cu Andreas -- `What a good friend you are to him, Dr. Maturin.
