4 GDBM-based keyring support is (and always) was an experimental feature
5 which is likely to be removed in future versions. For that reason it
6 is not compiled into the Debian package and won't be until and unless
7 GDBM support stabilises.
9 Upgrading from old (<= 0.3.3) versions GnuPG
10 --------------------------------------------
12 Due to a bug in the way secret keys were encrypted in versions prior
13 to 0.3.3, later version of GnuPG are not backwards compatible and you
14 will have to convert your secret keys before using old secret keys
15 with recent versions of GnuPG.
17 The upgrade strategy is described in /usr/doc/gnupg/NEWS.gz, please
18 refer to it for more details, but it requires an old copy of the gpg
19 and gpgm binaries. They may be on your system as gpg.old and
20 gpgm.old, but if they're not you can find gnupg 0.3.2 source and
21 binaries for i386, m68k, alpha, powerpc and hurd-i386 at:
