Package: gnupg2 Version: 2.1.11-6 Severity: minor Dear Maintainer,
My ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf contains the following keyserver options: keyserver hkps://hkps.pool.sks-keyservers.net keyserver-options ca-cert-file=/usr/share/gnupg2/sks-keyservers.netCA.pem keyserver-options no-honor-keyserver-url keyserver-options auto-key-retrieve This causes gpg2 to emit the following deprecation warning: gpg: keyserver option 'ca-cert-file' is obsolete; please use 'hkp-cacert' in dirmngr.conf The ca-cert-file option is required by GnuPG v1 to fetch public keys over an encrypted connection. Many Debian tools hard-code GnuPG v1, which makes it challenging to solely use GnuPG v2 [1] on a Debian system without resorting to a manual dpkg-divert of /usr/bin/gpg. [1] https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/GnuPG/UsingGnuPGv2 Would you consider disabling this and similar deprecation warnings in the Debian gnupg2 package, at least until a system can be configured to default to GnuPG v2?
