Hello, I asked about gnupg2-revert-rfc4880bis.patch on the Debian gnupg list, it is not sufficient and not really to the point, https://alioth-lists.debian.net/pipermail/pkg-gnupg-maint/2024-February/009217.html We have used these two patches instead https://salsa.debian.org/debian/gnupg2/-/blob/debian/experimental/debian/patches/update-defaults/gpg-Do-not-set-OCB-key-preference.diff https://salsa.debian.org/debian/gnupg2/-/blob/debian/experimental/debian/patches/update-defaults/gpg-encrypt-disrespect-OCB-key-preference.diff which are needed for 2.2.x nowadays, too. cu Andreas -- `What a good friend you are to him, Dr. Maturin.
