I've been a linux user for less than a year and the only configure/make/install I've done is for 2.0.26 and its dependencies (when I couldn't get the distro supplied package 2.0.22 to work).
Now when I look at the dependencies for gnupg 2.1.1, I see that I need to upgrade libassuan to 2.2.0, libgpg-error to 1.17 and gpgme to 1.5.3. The first question I have is whether it is necessary to remove the versions I already have prior to installing the later versions ? I suppose simply installing the later version will not automatically replace the previous version ? Up to present, all updates to software have been done by the distro's 'Software updater' and this has not made me any the wiser on the procedure for manual updating. Is there a risk of having a sedimentary layer of unwanted an outdated versions accumulate on disk when updating manually ? Any and all advice will be gratefully accepted, thank you. Philip
