Libgcrypt was designed for GnuPG, not GnuTLS. Btw, for these and other reasons, recent versions of GnuTLS support the GNU Nettle backend as well as Libgcrypt. It would be great if Debian could move to it, although GNU Nettle depends on GMP which is LGPLv3+. /Simon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
