Hello Group,
Well here I go again. I'm forever tweaking my OS. I was using a dual
boot Kali/Debian Jessie (encrypted). Somehow (I think when I updated
Debian) my Kali partition became corrupted. I tried to reinstall Kali
and destroyed my Debian partition. Live and learn. That is just
background.
Unfortunately, the experimental version of GnuPG 2.1.4 that I had
bungled my way into (with much help from this group) was wiped clean as
well.
So I figured I would start fresh. I added experimental to my sources
list and then attempted:(as per dkg's weblog on Debian Administration)
sudo apt install -t experimental gnupg2 gnupg-agent dirmngr gpgsm gpgv2
scdaemon
This worked for me before, but now I was getting a lot of dependency
related errors. I recalled that the first time I had tried
unsuccessfully to install 2.1.4 from scratch (before being directed to
experimental). So I figured I would install all of the latest libraries
and try again. So I downloaded all of the libraries, verified them, and
installed them, in order, with ./configure; make; make install:
as Per Warner in the read me:
BUILD INSTRUCTIONS
GnuPG 2.1 depends on the following GnuPG
related packages:
npth
(ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/npth/)
libgpg-error
(ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/libgpg-error/)
libgcrypt
(ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/libgcrypt/)
libksba
(ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/libksba/)
libassuan
(ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/libassuan/)
You should get the latest versions of course,
the GnuPG configure
script complains if a version is not
sufficient.
After that I attempted:
apt install -t experimental gnupg2 gnupg-agent dirmngr gpgsm gpgv2
scdaemon
I was already su
here are my error messages:
root@debian-rig:/home/rexk# apt-get install -t

I'm not sure what "is to be installed" means. Any help would be
appreciated.
