gnupg version 1 and 2

gnupg version 1 and 2

[Marco Atzeri]

Hi Maintainers,

currently /usr/bin/gpg is provided by version gnupg v1
and it is starting to show the age:

*** Info: SOURCE 1 signature follows:
gpg: Signature made Mon, Mar 22, 2021  1:26:14 PM CET using ? key ID 
26403ADA
gpg: Can't check signature: unknown pubkey algorithm


I noticed that debian and fedora packages have moved v1
to provide /usr/bin/gpg1
and have gpg a link to gpg2 (or reverse)

Any problem if I apply the same ?

gnupg package to provide gpg1 and gnupg2 to provide gpg and gpg2

Regards
Marco

That link, then,  should be provided by the alternatives system.

I have no clear preference as to what the default alternative should be,
but it should be changeable by the user.  So simply packaging up the
link isn't going to cut it.  One of the holdouts for gpg is cygport, I
haven't checked if gpg2 would need changes to the invocations there.


Regards,
Achim.
