> is there really a need for that package? citing from the bug report: | After asking on debian-security, it appears that there is still a | demand for pgp in debian. Although gpg provides a superset of | features, it doesn't have IDEA support compiled in (it is | patent-encumbered) but pgp, as it is non-US/non-free, can still | support IDEA. Furthermore, non-US/non-free is technically not replaced. As one package (or even 2, 3, 4) is not too much work, this can easily be done. So, I personally would go for that, and I'm prepared to put work into that. Cheers, Andi -- http://home.arcor.de/andreas-barth/ PGP 1024/89FB5CE5 DC F1 85 6D A6 45 9C 0F 3B BE F1 D0 C5 D1 D9 0C
